|discussion=<p><i>Blepharizonia laxa</i> occurs widely in the Inner South Coast Ranges (rarely in the Outer South Coast Ranges) north to the eastern San Francisco Bay area and northwestern San Joaquin Valley. Most recent workers have treated the taxon as a subspecies or variety of <i>B. plumosa</i>; following B. G. Baldwin et al. (2001), we recognize <i>B. laxa</i> at species rank based on molecular and biosystematic evidence for extensive evolutionary divergence. Where <i>B. laxa</i> and <i>B. plumosa</i> co-occur, the two species remain distinct and appear to be ecologically divergent, in addition to being only minimally interfertile (Baldwin et al.).</p>
