RANCHO SANTA ANA BOTANIC GARDEN Flora of Los Angeles County, California, U.S.A. Aizoaceae Galenia pubescens (Ecklon & Zeyher) Druce var. pubescens Bot. Soc. Exch. Qub Brit. Isles 1916: 624 (1917) (Det. T. S. Ross) SIGNAL HILL: disturbed, undeveloped property along Hill Street in the two-block area between Stanley and Ohio Avenues. Long Beach USGS 7.5' topo; T4S R12W Sect 29. Elevation ca 250 feet (76 m). Locally common herbaceous to suffrutescent perennial with procumbent stems, forming low mounds 10-30 dm in diameter. Perianth segments ca. 2.5 mm long by 1 mm broad, white to pale pinkish inside; anthers pale salmon-pink. Area scheduled to be developed. Currently, the plants are mowed on a fairly regular basis but continue to come back, and a portion of the site that has been plowed remains infested.
