|discussion=<p>Subspecies californica is similar to and intergrades with <i></i>subsp.<i> laciniata</i> and with <i>Sidalcea sparsifolia</i>; it is best recognized by its long-petioled, very shallowly incised basal leaves and shallowly to more deeply incised seven-lobed distal leaves, all of which are densely velvety stellate-pubescent. DNA evidence suggests that it may not belong within <i>S. malviflora</i> (K. Andreasen and B. G. Baldwin 2001, 2003). Subspecies californica is found in the southern outer South Coast and the western Transverse ranges from Monterey to Los Angeles counties.</p>
