This variety seems worthy of recognition because of the broader 

 segments of the thicker leaves than the type form presents. The state- 

 ment of K. C. Davis 103 that this variant is a "slender weak form" of 

 D. Andersoni Gray is certainly wide of the mark; as E. Huth has 

 pointed out, 104 the relationship of the species is with D. Menziesii DC.
