 long. — Sierra Nevada foothills from Shasta Co. to Kern Co.; San Joaquin Valley; Tehachapi Mts. 

 This variety is separated from the species by only one character, but it is rarely that intergrades 

 are found. It tends to replace the species in great part in the Sierra Nevada foothills, Tehachapi 

 Mts. and upper San Joaquin Valley. It does not occur in the Coast Ranges unless possibly in 

 Humboldt Co.
