--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Cypselae </b>truncate-fusiform, 3–6.5 mm (tapered to basal callosities, widest beyond middles, filled by embryos), ribs constricted at apices; pappi usually of deltate or ovate, arcuate, usually plane or barely involute scales 0.5–1 mm, shorter than cypselae, sometimes nearly obsolete. <b>2n</b> = 18.</span><!--

|phenology=Flowering Mar-–Jun.
|habitat=Sandy or clay soils, flats and hillsides, sometimes on serpentine slopes, grasslands and open oak woodlands
|elevation=0–500 m
|distribution=Calif.
|discussion=<p>Subspecies tenella intergrades completely with subsp. douglasii in west-central California. It occurs near the immediate coast; morphologic variation and chloroplast DNA suggest a history of hybridization with M. bigelovii.</p>
