Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

A species with four recognized subspecies (ssp. clevelandii, ssp. insulare, ssp. patulum, ssp. sanctarum). With the exception of ssp. patulum, plants generally occur on slopes, hillsides, ridges, bluffs, valley floors, and flats, in grasslands or grassy openings within Chaparral, Coastal Sage Scrub, Foothill/Cismontane Woodland, or Northern Oak Woodland communities (subspecies are generally segregated by geography but may intergrade, Hickman 1993). Ssp. patulum occurs on moist, heavy serpentine or subalkaline soil, from grasslands and pastures to open woody communities, including Douglas oak woodland and shin oak brush, Foothill Woodland, and Northern Coastal Scrub. On Mount Diablo, ssp. patulum is associated with Fritillaria liliacea. Elevation range for the full species is 0 - 750 m.
