Discussion
Subspecies douglasii is the common subspecies away from the coast in cismontane California, north of the Transverse Ranges; it is relatively rare in southwestern California and southern Oregon. Some populations near the coast appear to be hybrids between it, or subsp. tenella, and Microseris bigelovii.
