Dr. Gray recognized our Sierran form as distinct from the var. 

 villosa T. and G. (Fl., vol. 2, p. 9), noting that in its villous corolla 

 and hirsute calyx lobes it approaches the Eurasian type form and is 

 separable from the variety found in the northern part of the continent 

 and ranging south to New England, the Middle States, and Colorado, 

 and on the Pacific Coast coming as far as Oregon (Proc. Am. Acad., 

 vol. 8, p. 628. 1873). I have seen no representatives of the species 

 from beyond the limits of California ; Piper in the Flora of Washing- 

 ton, credits the species to that state and cites Suksdorf 559, a collection 

 not seen by me, but he assigns as the range the territory over which 

 the var. villosa is the predominant, if not the exclusive form. Dr. A. 

 Nelson, in the Coulter-Nelson New Manual, follows the same course.
