|discussion=<p>As noted by T. F. Daniel (1993), the fruiting aments of <i>Garrya elliptica</i> are wider (18–28 mm) than those of <i>G. veatchii</i> (13–18 mm); apparent intermediates between the two have been noted in closed-cone pine forests in San Luis Obispo County (F. Hrusa, pers. comm.). In their area of sympatry they differ in habitat.</p>
