| Discussion | Subspecies 2 (2 in the flora). Perideridia bolanderi is distinguishable from all other species in the genus by the following combination of characters: ultimate divisions of the basal leaves dimorphic, or if homomorphic, less than 1 mm wide; bracts and bractlets broad, conspicuously scarious, and cuspidate or acuminate, or if only broadly scarious-margined and acuminate, the bracts persistent at maturity; and mericarps oblong with 2–3 oil ducts in the intervals. Although the two subspecies share this combination of characters, phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data shows that they do not form a monophyletic group, though this separation is only weakly supported (S. R. Downie et al. 2004). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Perideridia kelloggii is found from Humboldt and Shasta counties south through the Coast Ranges to San Luis Obispo County, and through the Sierra Nevada foothills to Tuolumne County. It and P. howellii share fascicled fibrous roots with a similar histology and short styles surmounting conspicuous stylopodia.
