Discussion

Lagophylla glandulosa comprises spring and summer–fall flowering populations that occur widely in the northern Great Valley and surrounding foothills of the North Inner Coast Ranges, Cascade Range, and Sierra Nevada.

(Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.)

Lagophylla dichotoma occurs in the western Sierra Nevada foothills and adjacent eastern San Joaquin Valley and in the northern South Inner Coast Ranges (where plants are notably stipitate-glandular, unlike most Sierran and San Joaquin Valley collections).
