Discussion
Subspecies hispidum is usually found inland from the coast in Kern, Merced, and Solano counties. Plants tend to be slightly shorter, retain their leaves longer, and have more deeply incised leaf margins than those of subsp. molle. Hispid indument, once thought to characterize subsp. hispidum, also occurs on plants of subsp. molle.
