Discussion | Diplacus aurantiacus occurs from southwestern Oregon (Curry County) southward to Santa Barbara County, California. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Diplacus clivicola is known from northern Idaho and immediately adjacent Montana and Oregon. It is similar to typical D. nanus in its strongly bilabiate corollas; it differs in its slightly toothed leaf blade margins, relatively long pedicels, and calyces with cuneate bases.
