    1. Reviewed by Aaron Schusteff    May 31, 2009

    Action: changed name from "Linanthus breviculus" to "Linanthus sp. "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "According to standard regional references (Jepson, Munz, Abrams, and more) Linanthus breviculus flowers are both sessile and salverform, unlike those in this photo. Thus this is not the species L. breviculus, though the leaves do look typical of the genus. It's probably best left as Linanthus sp. until someone familiar with the California taxa can better place it using specific identification characters."
