Pogogyne douglasii Benth.
EOL Text
United States
Origin: Unknown/Undetermined
Regularity: Regularly occurring
Currently: Unknown/Undetermined
Confidence: Confident
Comments: Pogogyne douglasii is highly variable. James Jokerst, in The Jepson Manual (Hickman, 1993), does not list subspecies, but admits that ssp. parviflora is the most distinct variant and may warrant recognition. Kartesz' checklist (1994) includes two subspecies: "minor" and "parviflora" in addition to the nominate subspecies.

United States
Rounded National Status Rank: N3 - Vulnerable
Rounded Global Status Rank: T3 - Vulnerable
Reasons: Endemic to California; it occurs in four or possibly six counties in a variety of habitats. Many new occurrences have been found recently, but the plant is threatened by urbanization and agriculture; some populations have been extirpated. Distinctiveness of this subspecies is questionable and needs more research (Skinner and Pavlik, 1994 -- electronic version 1997).
