Berkeley [Nov 1914] from Pt. Reyes and north has glands of every length or almost no pedicel at all. My "Gilroy Grade, 6/16/96" has yellow spines and the glands are very long-stalked! more prominently long-stalked than in most Marin C. [County] spines. The leaves are thick in R. hystrix but so are they in Blasdale's Olema [?spur] which is excellent menziesii. R. sericeum differs from R. menziesii only in being thin-leaved and somewhat silky pilose. The R. menziesii aggregate: (a) of the typical coast thing, (b) the plant with short-stiped almost tessalated ovary which we have called R. subvestitum and (c) R. californicum which has quite glabrous bristly
