A. Eastwood ,1 May 1896, USA: California, Cuyama, White Hills, near boundary between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties (CAS0026829=CAS27857) Note from Hoover 1970, p. 245: "No large-flowered plants could be found in the white hills on the north side of Cuyama Valley in 1967, although small-flowered A. tessellata was abundant. There is thus reason to suspect, as with A. furcata, that the type collection is erroneously labelled." |
