Synonyms: Clarkia viminea (Douglas) A. Nelson & J. F. Macbride Godetia viminea (Douglas) Spach
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 10.

Leaf-blades linear to nar­rowly lanceolate, 3–7 cm. Inflorescences open racemes. Flowers: petals lavender to purple, darker proximally or not, usually with darker spot distally, 15–25 mm; stigma exserted beyond anthers. 2n = 52.

Elevation: 0–500 m.

Distribution

Calif., Oreg.

Discussion

Subspecies viminea is widespread at low to middle elevations in California and Oregon. It is a morphologically heterogeneous assemblage of popu­lations, all of which are characterized by relatively large flowers with the stigma exserted beyond the anthers.
