TAXONOMY : 
The fully documented scientific name of bush oceanspray is Holodiscus
dumosus (Nutt.) Heller.  The taxonomy presented here follows that of
Welsh and others [36].  These authors take a conservative approach to
recognizing infraspecific taxa within this complex, indicating that most
variation appears to reflect ecological rather than genetic differences.
Holodiscus microphyllus, an entity occurring in montane habitats from
Oregon to California [21,25], has been included within Holodiscus
dumosus [14,15,36].
