Sidalcea oregana (Nutt. ex Torr. & A. Gray) A. Gray var. calva C. L. Hitchc. ined.

Washington: Chelan County: [locality and coordinates withheld; status in Washington: G5T1/S1? (Endangered; WANHP)],
Meadow on rather dry soil under yellow pines and at edge of water. Some plants from meadow on rather dry soil under yellow pines, these nearly all single-stemmed from taproots. Other extreme includes plants in multi-stemmed clumps at edge of water, these with short thick rootstalks, bearing many buds. As plants spread older rootstalks tend to die, thereby producing clumps of individual plants; thus, although rootstalks are present, they are much shorter and thicker than in such species as S. virgata. Plants examined over an area of several hundred feet in diameter, and at intervals of perhaps one mile, from practically glabrous to sparsely stellate (hairs 2-5 rayed). Stems somewhat glaucous; corolla bright watermelon pink, flowers of at least 3 types, many more or less cleistogamous and practically without corolla, others small-flowered and perfect. Largest flowered plants functionally pistillate. Phenology: Flowers. Type: unspecified: Sidalcea oregana (Nutt. ex Torr. & A. Gray) A. Gray var. calva C. L. Hitchc.. Published 1957. University of Washington Publications in Biology 18: 61.
