b Hrusa et al., Madrono 49(2)61-98. 2002: DIST: CCo, SnFrB: Hrusa et al. Current Status: Naturalized outside of wildlands: DOC: Alameda Co: Landscape weed in Livermore area. March 9, 1994, C. Elmore s.n. (DAV); Contra Costa Co.: Miller Knox Regional Park, at edge of excavation on west-facing hillside, localized but dense colony at base of coast live oak. Mar. 21, 1999, B. Ertter 16486 (UC); Marin Co.: Muir Beach, 5.5 miles west of Hwy 1. Open area, slightly sandy soil, coastal strand with partial moisture, full sun. Not abundant. El. 50 ft. May 16, 1992, J.N. Le 17 (DAV); San Francisco Co.: Spontaneous along path betw. the Conservatory and Fuchsia garden, Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. Sept. 25, 1980, J.T. Howell 53901 (DAV); San Mateo Co: McClintock, E., et al. (1990, pg. 135): NOTES: Known sites widely scattered. Differing from the other naturalized species of Fumaria in California in the larger flowers (ca 12mm long) and broadly ovate sepals. Apparently becoming more common. Similar to F. macrosepala Boiss., which may also be represented in California (Ertter 16486).
Initial Editorial Comments according to Source b, in California naturalized outside of wildlands, yet at least some of the conditions of cited occurrences evidently qualify for inclusion in the flora according to criteria employed by Jepson Flora Project (21 Feb 2003)
Correspondence and Comments Subsequent to Initial Analysis
Correspondence 1 Treatment and author notes submitted for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] by Gary L. Hannan see Comment 1
Editorial Comments 1 Correspondence 1 indicates that for The Jepson Manual [Ed. 2] Fumaria capreolata L. is to be treated as a waif in CA, in lieu of evidence that the plants are reproducing in any way in the state in +- wild conditions.
Correspondence 2 16 Feb 2010 e-mail from Gary L. Hannan, including responses to 11 Feb 2010 e-mail from Dave Keil see Comment 2
Editorial Comments 2 Correspondence 2 indicates that, according to Keil, Fumaria capreolata "is NOT a waif. It is most thoroughly NATURALIZED. It has taken over the understory of some riparian corridors in the San Luis Obispo area and elsewhere. It is a prolific seeder and forms large populations." [Therefore, a Current Status of Jepson Flora Project-2 is appropriate.]
