Common Name: ROSE FAMILY Habit: Annual to tree, glandular or not. Leaf: simple to palmately or pinnately compound, generally alternate; stipules free to fused (0), persistent to deciduous. Inflorescence: cyme, raceme, panicle, cluster, or flowers 1; bractlets on pedicel ("pedicel bractlets") generally 0--3(many), subtended by bract or generally not. Flower: generally bisexual, radial; hypanthium free or fused to ovary, saucer- to funnel-shaped, subtending bractlets ("hypanthium bractlets") 0--5, alternate sepals; sepals generally 5; petals generally 5, free; stamens (0,1)5--many, anther pollen sacs generally 2; pistils (0)1--many, simple or compound, ovary superior to inferior, styles 1--5. Fruit: 1--many per flower, achene (fleshy-coated or not), follicle, drupe, or pome with generally papery core, occasionally drupe-like with 1--5 stones. Seed: generally 1--5 (per fruit, not per flower). Genera In Family: 110 genera, +- 3000 species: worldwide, especially temperate; many cultivated for ornament, fruit, especially Cotoneaster, Fragaria, Malus, Prunus, Pyracantha, Rosa, Rubus. Note: Number of teeth is per leaf or leaflet, not per side of leaf or leaflet, except in Drymocallis. eFlora Treatment Author: Daniel Potter & Barbara Ertter, family description, key to genera, treatment of genera by Daniel Potter, except as noted Scientific Editor: Daniel Potter, Thomas J. Rosatti.
Common Name: STRAWBERRY Habit: Perennial herb, +- nonglandular, rhizomes short, stolons leafless. Leaf: basal, 1-ternately compound; leaflet teeth generally entire. Inflorescence: cyme, +- umbel-like, open, 1--several-flowered; pedicels recurved in fruit, bractlets 0. Flower: hypanthium shallow, bractlets 5, narrower than sepals; sepals, petals +- obovate, generally white; stamens 20--35, filaments +- flat, pollen sac 1, horseshoe-shaped; pistils many, ovaries superior, jointed to stout style on side. Fruit: achenes many on enlarged, fleshy, red receptacle. Etymology: (Latin: fragrant) Note: Species intergrade. Unabridged Note: Characters include calyx orientation, fruit size used to define subspecies despite evident lack of taxonomic value. eFlora Treatment Author: Daniel Potter & Barbara Ertter Reference: Hancock et al. 2004 Canad J Bot 82:1632--1644
Fragaria chiloensis (L.) Mill.
NATIVE Habit: Often dioecious. Stem: generally 5--20 cm. Leaf: thick, leathery; petiole generally 2--20 cm; central leaflet stalk 1--10 mm, blade 10--60 mm, obovate, densely hairy abaxially, generally glabrous adaxially, rounded to truncate, teeth generally 7--11, above middle, rounded-obtuse, central tooth << adjacent. Inflorescence: exceeded by to exceeding leaves. Flower: generally 20--40 mm wide; hypanthium bractlets unlobed; sepals 6--10 mm; petals (8)10--18 mm. Fruit: receptacle 10--20 mm; achene 1.5--2 mm. Chromosomes: n=28. Ecology: Ocean beaches, coastal grassland; Elevation: < 200 m. Bioregional Distribution: NCo, CCo; Distribution Outside California: to Alaska; also coastal South America, Hawaii. Flowering Time: Feb--Nov Synonyms: Fragaria chiloensis subsp. lucida (E. Vilm. ex J. Gay) Staudt; Fragaria chiloensis subsp. pacifica Staudt Unabridged Note: Hybridizes with Fragaria vesca (2n=35,42,63; Fragaria ×bringhurstii Staudt), putative hybrids with Fragaria virginiana (Fragaria ×ananassa subsp. cuneifolia (Howell) Staudt) spontaneous, do not merit taxonomic status.

MAP LEGEND View all CCH records All markers link to CCH specimen records. The original determination is shown in the popup window.
Blue markers indicate specimens that map to one of the expected Jepson geographic subdivisions (see left map). Purple markers indicate specimens collected from a garden, greenhouse, or other non-wild location.
Yellow markers indicate records that may provide evidence for eFlora range revision or may have georeferencing or identification issues.
