--><p><i>Atriplex coronata </i>var.<i> vallicola</i> is often found with <i>Atriplex polycarpa</i>, <i>Suaeda</i> fruticosa, <i>Allenrolfea occidentalis</i>, <i>Plantago</i> insularis, <i>Eremalche parryi</i>, <i>Bromus rubens</i>, and <i>Festuca</i> spp. D. Taylor and D. H. Wilken (1993) noted that this variety intergrades with, and is perhaps best considered a subspecies of, <i>Atriplex coronata</i>. That observation in borne out by plants of both taxa from sites in Kern County, at least. The differences are subtle and subject to interpretation. Another choice would be to regard it as a synonym of <i>A. coronata</i>. Greenhouse-grown specimens and some individuals from mesic stands have elliptic, entire to serrate, leaves to 25 mm and 8 mm wide.</p><!--
--><p>According to D. Taylor and D. H. Wilken (1993), plants from the San Joaquin Valley (Carrizo Plain) are undescribed and have the following characters: yellow-green scaly; leaves petiolate, blade ovate; fruiting bracteoles ± 3–4 mm, smooth.</p>
