Discussion

Of conservation concern.

On Santa Catalina Island, most plants of Lyonothamnus floribundus have most leaves not divided into leaflets and have been called forma, subsp., or var. floribundus. Plants with most leaves palmately or pinnately divided, usually with 3–5(–7), pinnately lobed leaflets, have been called forma, subsp., or var. aspleniifolius; such plants are known from San Clemente, Santa Catalina, Santa Cruz, and Santa Rosa islands. Continuity of variation in leaf form in L. floribundus has been documented by T. S. Brandegee (1890) and others. J. M. Bushakra et al. (1999) noted genetic similarity among clones.
