Of conservation concern. Draba exunguiculata occupies alpine areas of Clear Creek, El Paso, Grand, and Summit counties in central Colorado. Draba grayana is found in the same general area; both species are apomicts that occasionally grow sympatrically. Draba exunguiculata is easily distinguished from D. grayana by having stems and fruiting pedicels glabrous or sparsely pubescent with simple trichomes (versus moderately to densely pubescent with simple and 2- or 3-rayed trichomes), and by having erect, non-clawed petals, 2–3 mm and slightly longer than sepals (versus flared, clawed petals 3–4.5 mm and nearly twice as long as sepals).

Draba longisquamosa was treated as a synonym of D. lemmonii by both C. L. Hitchcock (1941) and R. C. Rollins (1993). We feel that the two taxa show sufficient morphological divergence and merit recognition as separate species (see I. A. Al-Shehbaz and M. D. Windham 2007 for more detailed discussion). Draba longisquamosa is currently known only from the southern Sierra Nevada in Fresno, Inyo, and Tulare counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
