Fragaria Calif ornica Howell, FL N. W. Am. 1: 174. In part. 1898. 



Rootstock very thick and woody, generally bearing several flowering stems. Leaves 

 moderately thick, glabrous and glaucous above and appressed-silky beneath ; petioles 

 2-20 cm. long, silky-villous with long spreading or reflexed hairs, moderately stout or 

 rather slender ; leaflets broadly cuneate or obovate, 2-8 cm. long, coarsely serrate or 

 crenate above the middle, nearly always evidently petiolate, the lateral ones only a httle 

 oblique. Runners comparatively stout, long. Scape comparatively stout, but much less 

 so than in F. Virginiana, generally about 1 dm., seldom 2 cm. high, sometimes only a few 

 centimeters, rarely exceeding the leaves, rather many-flowered, often leafy-bracteate, silky- 

 villous with long spreading or reflexed hairs. Flowers large, 1.5-2.5 cm. in diameter; 

 sepals and bractlets lanceolate ; petals almost orbicular, usually twice as long as the 

 sepals. Fruit hemispheric, 1-1.5 cm. in diameter; achenes set in rather shallow pits. 



It is nearest related to F. Virginiana and F. glauca ; it dififers from both by the 

 large petals, from the former by more or less glaucous and rather smaller leaves, and 

 from the latter by the spreading hairs of the petioles and scape and by the much less 

 oblique lateral leaflets. Its range extends from Alaska and British Columbia to northern 

 California and Colorado.
