Ceanothus papillosus var. roweanus—Mt. Tranquillon ceanothus. The taxon is not recognized by the Jepson eFlora. The entry for C. papillosus says that the plants from the Mt. Tranquillon area may merit varietal status but further study is needed. This is not a plant for an inexperienced gardener. Las Pilitas Nursery says "This plants wants to die if its not in its native range. I dont think it is lonely, but it sure is picky."
