sea-pink, thrift
Publication: Bull. Natl. Mus. Canada. 135: 174. 1955.
Origin: Native
Herbarium search: CPNWH
Notes: FNA5: "In northern Washington and on Vancouver Island, populations with hairy leaves have been called Armeria maritima var. purpurea (Koch) G. H. M. Lawrence, a dimorphic-flowered taxon from central Europe. The American monomorphic-flowered specimens thought to belong to var. purpurea are not distinct from subsp. californica, except for their hairy leaves. We include hairy-leaved specimens in subsp. californica."
