Staphylea bolanderi, common name Sierra bladdernut,[1] is an uncommon species of bladdernut endemic to California . It ranges from the southern Sierra Nevada to the southernmost slopes of the Cascade Range and the Klamath Mountains. It is a shrub or small tree growing 2–6 m tall. The deciduous leaves are each made up of three round or oval leaflets with toothed edges, each leaflet measuring up to 6 cm long. The inflorescence is a panicle of flowers drooping on long pedicels. Each flower has five white petals within five snow white sepals, and a cluster of five stamens protruding from the mouth. The fruit is an inflated, bladderlike capsule up to 5 cm long containing smooth brown seeds.[2]
