Remarks
Emerson ascribed the name to Munz and mentioned: In 1935, Professor P. A. MUNZ collected seeds from plants growing in the type locality, Dripping Springs, in the next canyon south of Filmore Canyon. Professor R. E. CLELAND grew plants from these seeds in Baltmore the following year, found that they were self-sterile and made intercrosses between seven of them. Seeds of these crosses were sent to me and the progenies were tested at Pasadena in the summer of 1937- Munz's seed collection is not considered as a direct contribution to Emerson's publication of this name.
