Triphysaria versicolor subsp. versicolor

Elizabeth H. Zacharias
Endemic
Synonyms: Orthocarpus faucibarbatus subsp. albidus D. D. Keck
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 17. Treatment on page 687.

Flowers: corolla white, fading to rose-pink, beak white or rose-pink. 2n = 22.


Phenology: Flowering Apr–Aug.
Habitat: Grasslands, vernally moist seeps to dry grassy meadows, headlands, rock outcrops, coastal prairies.
Elevation: 0–700 m.

Distribution

B.C., Calif., Oreg.

Discussion

Subspecies versicolor is critically imperiled in British Columbia, threatened by development pressure, habitat alteration, and competition from introduced species. The Canadian populations are over 400 km north of the nearest United States populations, in Oregon. This disjunction may be a result of the discontinuity of available habitat, introduction since glaciation, or survival of populations in glacial refugia (J. L. Penny and G. W. Douglas 1999).
