 base : leaves crowded, sessile, lanceolate or the upper almost ovate-lanceolate, gradually 

 tapering from near the broad base to a very acute tip, strongly 3-5-nervose (an incli or 

 more long) : cymes subsessile or short-peduncled, dense, mostly undivided: calyx villous : 

 corolla somewhat pubescent. — California, throughout the whole western part of the State,
