Notes:

May be morphologically indistinguishable from D. pulcherrima and D. yina, but distinct based on geography, cytology, and DNA. Previously assigned to D. yina, which does not occur in CA; plants previously considered D. yina in CA are either D. pulcherrima or D. willamettensis. See Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington 47(34): 187-188 (1934) for original description, and MadroƱo 57(1): 20-41 (2010) for taxonomic treatment.
