|discussion=<p>The range of <i>Microseris sylvatica</i> includes the Central Valley of California and surrounding foothills. It is becoming rare because of grazing and agriculture (D. P. Tibor 2001). An autotriploid form, 2n = 27, has been reported from Placer County (A. S. Tomb et al. 1978); it reproduced clonally by adventitious buds on lateral roots.</p>
