NOTE: It is not clear to me that N. longiflorus var. longiflorus and N. longiflorus var. breviflorus are validly separate taxa because there are many intermediate forms, but var. longiflorus appears to be more montane while var. breviflorus appears to be more desert. These pictures were taken at Idyllwild County Park in the San Jacinto Mts. See Nemacladus longiflorus var. breviflorus.
