Holodiscus discolor (Pursh) Maxim.
NATIVE Habit: Plant 0.3--6 m. Stem: bark +- red, in age gray, shredding; twigs glabrous to hairy, occasionally glandular. Leaf: 0.3--8 cm, ovate to obovate, strong-veined abaxially, glabrous to hairy, occasionally glandular, teeth entire to compound; base truncate to wedge-shaped; petiole distinct or not. Inflorescence: 2--25 cm, 1.5--25 cm wide. Flower: hypanthium 3--5 mm wide; sepals 1--2 mm; petals 1.5--2 mm; style 1 mm. Fruit: achenes 1--1.5 mm, often with sessile glands. Note: Highly variable; varieties intergrade. Synonyms: Holodiscus saxicola A. Heller Unabridged Note: Highly variable; varieties intergrade, especially. var. discolor and var. microphyllus. Intermediate plants from SNH, SNE, described as Holodiscus saxicola A. Heller, Holodiscus boursieri (Carrière) Rehder, do not merit taxonomic status.

2. California county polygons can be turned off and on in the layer control box.
3. Filling of Jepson subdivision polygons can be turned off and on in the layer control box.
4. Moving the cursor over any numbered cluster will show the range boundary of the included specimens (with a blue polygon).
5. Marker clustering can be turned off by clicking this link:
Marker Clustering OFF WARNING: Turning this off might cause maps with large numbers of specimens to load slowly.
(Note: any qualifiers in the taxon distribution description, such as 'northern', 'southern', 'adjacent' etc., are not reflected in the map above, and in some cases indication of a taxon in a subdivision is based on a single collection or author-verified occurence).

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.
