Malacothamnus nuttallii
Malacothamnus nuttallii is a species of flowering plant in the mallow family known by the common name Ojai bushmallow. It is named after the botanist Thomas Nuttall. It is endemic to Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, and Ventura counties in California. It is sometimes treated as a variety of Malacothamnus fasciculatus but morphological, phylogenetic, and phenological evidence show it to be distinct. Malacothamnus nuttallii is widely planted and is in cultivation under the name Malacothamnus fasciculatus ‘Casitas’.
