I apologize, but I cannot generate a complete description because critical data is missing from the plant record. The provided data lacks essential information like elevation range, habitat, flowering time, and Jepson description details that are necessary to construct a meaningful botanical description according to the specified rules. To generate an accurate description, I would need: 1. Elevation range (minimum and maximum) 2. Specific habitat details 3. Flowering months 4. Jepson description text 5. Details about flower color 6. Growth characteristics Without these specifics, I cannot produce a description that meets the established quality standards. Would you like to provide the missing information? Note: Jepson eFlora does not treat this as a distinct taxon; it considers it a synonym of Streptanthus glandulosus subsp. glandulosus.
