description
Calystegia stebbinsii is a perennial plant that uses a rhizome or a hardly woody caudex as a perennial organ. The branches are creeping to climbing and are up to 1 m long. The leaves are seven to nine times deep (7 to 55 mm) lobed palm-like. The lobes are linear, the middle lobe is the longest, the leaf margins are usually rolled under.
The inflorescence stalks are usually 3 to 13 cm long and thus stand far beyond the accompanying leaves. The bracts are up to 1.8 cm long and lobed three to nine times like the leaves. They stand clearly below the chalice and do not enclose it. The sepals are 7 to 11 mm long and mostly hairless. The crown is creamy yellow and more or less tinted pink and 30 to 35 mm long.

The species is endemic to the north of the Sierra Nevada Foothills and is only known from two populations. It grows at altitudes around 300 m in the chaparral .
