|discussion=<p>Subspecies californica sometimes occurs with other <i>Lasthenia</i> taxa. R. Ornduff (1993) included <i>L. gracilis</i> within his circumscription of <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> californica</i>. Coastal forms of <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> californica</i> tend to have shorter, wider, toothed, fleshy leaves and larger heads; they can be distinguished from <i>L. gracilis</i> by their translucent, brown, linear to subulate, aristate pappus scales and more northern distribution. Sympatric epappose plants of <i></i></i>subsp.<i><i> californica</i> and <i>L. gracilis</i> are not easily distinguished morphologically; molecular markers (R. Chan et al. 2001) show them to be distinct taxa.</p>
