7. B. DOUGLASI var. spathulata Jones, Proc. Calif. Acad. II, 5:690, 1895. — Authentic material not seen, but 

 apparently a form of C. viscidiflorus lanceolatus with short lower leaves.

9. B. DOUGLASI var. tortifolia Gray, 1. c. — C. viscidiflorus and its subspecies. First applied to plants 

 similar to subspecies typicus, but with the leaves twisted upon themselves, later extended by various writers 

 to other subspecies in which this trait was noticed and even used by some as of specific value. The tendency 

 toward torsion is sometimes indicated only by an undulation of the margins and all degrees are encountered from
