Discussion

Variety fruticiformis is known only from Inyo County. Some specimens from the Last Chance and Panamint ranges have broadly ovate to round calyx lobes and moderately glandular-pubescent corollas internally as in var. fruticiformis, but they also have corollas glandular-pubescent externally as in var. amargosae.
