Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 20: 291. 1955.
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 10.
Stems erect, branches on well-developed plants few, virgate, many-flowered. Leaf-blades linear to narrowly lanceolate. Inflorescences open racemes or panicles. Petals purple or lavender, usually lighter toward base, with a purplish red spot near middle. 2n = 18.
Phenology: Flowering May–Jul.
Habitat: Woodlands.

Discussion
Subspecies polyantha is relatively common in Fresno, Kern, Madera, and Tulare counties in the foothills of the southern Sierra Nevada, and is uncommon in the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern and Los Angeles counties. A report from Riverside County (cited in Calflora) is erroneous.
