Malacothamnus Jonesi
''Malacothamnus'' (bushmallow) is a genus of shrubs found throughout much of mainland California and on three of the Channel Islands. Outside of California, ''Malacothamnus'' is known from the northern half of Baja California and from a few disjunct locations in Arizona and Nevada. Plants of this genus are most commonly found in early-successional, post-burn plant communities.Kearney, T. H. 1951. “The Genus Malacothamnus, Greene (Malvaceae).” Leaflets of Western Botany VI (6):113–40. ''Malacothamnus'' are currently thought to be most closely related to the ''Iliamna (plant), Iliamnas'' of the US interior and the ''Phymosias'' of Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Taxonomy Taxonomy in the genus Malacothamnus has been controversial due to overlapping morphological variation and differences in opinion about how to treat that variation.Kearney, T. H. 1955. “Notes on Malvaceae VII: A New Variety in Malacothamnus.” Leaflets of Western Botany VII (12):289–90. Bates, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Malacothamnus Nuttallii
''Malacothamnus nuttallii'' is a species of flowering plant in the Malvaceae, mallow family known by the common name Ojai bushmallow. It is named after the botanist Thomas Nuttall. It is Endemism, endemic to Santa Barbara County, California, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo County, California, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura County, California, Ventura counties in California. It is sometimes treated as a variety of ''Malacothamnus fasciculatus'' but morphological, phylogenetic, and phenological evidence show it to be distinct. ''Malacothamnus nuttallii'' is widely planted and is in cultivation under the name ''Malacothamnus fasciculatus'' ‘Casitas’.Morse, K. 2023Malacothamnus Volume 1: A Morphological Assessment of Taxonomic Boundaries in the Genus Malacothamnus (Malvaceae)./ref>Morse, K. 2023Malacothamnus Volume 2: A Phylogenetic Assessment of Taxonomic Boundaries in the Genus Malacothamnus (Malvaceae)./ref>Morse, K. 2023Malacothamnus Volume 3: A Revised Treatment of the Genus Mala ...
