Sidalcea malachroides, with the common name mapleleaf checkerbloom, is a flowering plant in the genus Sidalcea . [1] [2]
The plant is native to the California Coast Ranges in the North Coast and Monterey Bay regions of California, [2] and the Oregon Coast Range in Oregon. It grows below 700 metres (2,300 ft) in elevation.
Within California it is a Vulnerable species listed on the California Native Plant Society Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants. [3]
Sidalcea malachroides is a perennial herb or subshrub, 4–15 decimetres (16–59 in) tall. The leaves are generally all along stem. [4]
The flowers are head-like spikes, in white or pale purple-white. The bloom period is April to August. [4]
Sidalcea pedata, also called birdfoot checkerbloom or Big Bear checkerbloom, is a rare and endangered perennial herb of California. It blooms between May and July. However, it is an endemic species of California and only occurs in few places in the San Bernardino Mountains, primarily at Bear Valley, Bluff Lake. It grows at 1500–2100 m elevation in moist meadows to open woodlands and the unique pebble plain habitat of the area. Since Big Bear Valley is a resort destination, the birdfoot checkerbloom is threatened by development, vehicles and grazing.
