Discussion | The occurrence of Erythranthe jungermannioides in the Columbia River Gorge of Klickitat County, Washington (the only record from the state of Washington), is based on an imprecise, unconfirmed observation from the early 1990s (Washington National Heritage Program 2005).

Erythranthe diffusa has been included previously in E. palmeri but can be distinguished morphologically by glabrous margins on the calyx and pubescence on the distal end of the style. It occurs in Orange, Riverside, and San Diego counties as well as close to the California border in Baja California. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
