Ballona Cinquefoil (Potentilla multijuga Lehm.)
Although this species is agreed to exist, the type specimen by this name actually belongs to wedgeleaf horkelia (Potentilla lindleyi) var. lindleyi, which is often called Horkelia cuneata var. cuneata. The name Potentilla multijuga is retained as a conserved name that technically violates naming rules.
