Notes

Move to List 1B? Some plants from AMA, ELD, SIS, and TRI cos. resemble S. celata, but are outside of known range; needs further study. Herbarium material is difficult to identify; needs field surveys. Similar to S. asprella, S. gigantea, and S. robusta. A synonym of S. malviflora ssp. asprella in TJM (1993). See Flora of California 2(1):492-493 (1936) by W.L. Jepson for original description and MadroƱo 56(2):285-292 (2009) for taxonomic treatment.
