|discussion=<p><i>Psilocarphus chilensis</i> occurs mainly in west-central California and central Chile; one recent collection is from southern California (western Riverside County). Ecotypes from coastal interdune areas are more lanuginose with shorter stems and internodes than intergrading populations farther inland; they are indistinguishable from the type of <i>Micropus</i> globiferus from Chile (J. D. Morefield 1992d). <i>Psilocarphus chilensis</i> and <i>P. tenellus</i> are at least as distinct as the other species of <i>Psilocarphus</i>; contrary to suggestions by A. Cronquist (1950), intermediates between the two are at most very uncommon.</p><!--
--><p><i>Psilocarphus</i> berteri I. M. Johnston is a superfluous name for <i>P. chilensis</i>. I. M. Johnston (1938) erroneously applied <i>P. chilensis</i> to a species not including the type of <i>Micropus</i> globiferus; such plants are here included in <i>P. brevissimus </i>var.<i> brevissimus</i>.</p>
