Notes

Move to List 4? Need location, rarity, and endangerment information. Probably more widespread in the southern Sacramento Valley, southern North Coast Ranges, and northern S.F. Bay. Possibly threatened by grazing, and non-native plants. See Flora Franciscana, p. 377 (1897) by E. Greene for original description, and University of California Publications in Botany 16:40 (1929) for taxonomic treatment.
