Notes Glossary
  • Only one confirmed, native occurrence appears viable as of 2003. Sizes and sites of trees in occurrences on quad 532C indicate they are historical; however further study is needed to determine native status. Reported as possibly present in BUT Co. (575C), but native status questionable. Widely naturalized in cismontane CA. Threatened by hybridization with orchard trees, urbanization, and conversion to agriculture. Formerly cultivated as rootstock for J. regia, with which it hybridizes readily. A synonym of J. californica var. hindsii in TJM (1993). See Flora of California 1(2):365 (1909) by W.L. Jepson for original description, and Madroño 17(1):1-32 (1963) for discussion of origin.
