Notes

Known only from the Diablo Range. Many occurrences historical; need field surveys. Possibly threatened by development and non-native plants. Formerly included within L. dichotoma, but genetic data show that L. diabolensis is actually more closely related to L. ramosissima. See MadroƱo 60(3):249-254 (2013) for original description.
