Leaves in loose rosettes; blade elliptic to ovate, 1–3 × 0.5–2.5 cm, densely gray-lanate to tomentose abaxially, floccose or glabrous and green adaxially, margins plane. Inflorescences compound-umbellate, branched 2–4 times; branches tomentose, without a whorl of bracts ca. midlength; involucral tubes 4–6 mm, lobes 3–5 mm. Flowers 7–10(–12) mm; perianth bright yellow.

Discussion

Variety speciosum is known only from a few scattered locations in Humboldt and Trinity counties. These large and showy shrubs are worthy of cultivation. In early-flowering material, the flowers can be shorter than noted above.

The name var. speciosum has been widely misapplied to var. dumosum, var. polyanthum, and especially var. ahartii.

Selected References
