Of conservation concern. Although Draba carnosula was reduced by Hitchcock to a variety of D. howellii, it differs significantly by having leafless flowering stems, 2–6-flowered racemes, and broadly winged seeds 3–4.5 mm in diam. Draba howellii almost always has 1–3-leaved stems, (5–)7–18(–25)-flowered racemes, and not winged, distally appendaged seeds 1–1.6 mm in diam. Draba carnosula is known only from a few collections from Mount Eddy in Trinity County and the north side of Mount Shasta in Siskiyou County.

Although originally described as a variety of Draba apiculata (= D. globosa), D. daviesiae is distinct morphologically. It is easily distinguished from the former by its densely pulvinate habit, obtuse leaf blades, and obscurely veined fruit valves. By contrast, D. globosa exhibits a cespitose but non-pulvinate habit, acute leaf blades, and prominently veined fruit valves. Draba daviesiae is known from the Bitterroot Mountains in Ravalli County.
