Discussion
This southwestern variety, Athyrium filix-femina var. californicum, occurs at higher elevations than var. cyclosorum. Athyrium filix-femina var. californicum and var. cyclosorum are more closely related to each other than to eastern varieties. Distinctness between western varieties was shown by F. K. Butters (1917); F. S. Liew (1972) treated them as consubspecific.
