Discussion | Erythranthe filicaulis is known only for certain from Mariposa and Tuolumne counties. Kappler 1691 (UCLA) from Madera County also may be this species. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Erythranthe montioides has been previously treated as a highly polymorphic species with a relatively broad geographic range but is now recognized as narrowly endemic to Fresno and north-central Tulare counties. The following species were segregated from E. montioides: E. barbata, E. calcicola, E. carsonensis, and E. discolor. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
