Discussion
Linum trigynum is one of three species in sect. Linopsis subsect. Halolinum (Planchon) C. M. Rogers. This section is characterized as having separate styles, linear stigmas, and incomplete false septa. Linum trigynum is homostylous; the other two species, L. maritimum Linnaeus and L. tenue Desfontaines, are heterostylous. Two populations of L. trigynum have been reported in Sonoma County on the Jenner and Fort Ross State Historic Park headlands, both with hundreds of individuals and apparently persisting. Where native, the species sometimes occurs on serpentine soils, and it is reported as a weed in western Australia.
