Prickly Phlox
Linanthus californicus

TJM1: Leptodactylon californicum.

Family: Polemoniaceae (PHLOX).
Other common names: California prickly phlox.
Generic common name: LINANTHUS.

Location: Circle X Ranch: Sandstone Peak Trail, chaparral, March 2004.

Characteristics: Native, Red, Large, Clusters, Simple, Woody, Perennial, Winter, Early Spring.

At the time these plants were identified and photographed, The Jepson Manual had not split Linanthus californicus into subspecies. Although most of the plants in these photos would likely now be identified as L. californicus ssp. californicus, there is a significant chance that some would be identifed as L. californicus ssp. glandulosus. See the note in A N F for a discussion of this.
