Plataea - Plataea diva

Plataea - Plataea diva
Limestone Canyon, Orange County, California, USA
April 22, 2017
The very shallow indentation on the apical margin of the dark patch, along with fairly diluted pattern, seems consistent with only P. personaria. This is according to BOLD and MPG specimens -- hopefully reliable.

As a follow-up, it appears the MPG and BOLD specimens are misplaced, and this is actually either californiaria or diva.

not sure
I think the well developed st. line may eliminate diva.
