Draba globosa is an apomictic species closely related to D. burkei (M. D. Windham, unpubl.). Though often treated as a variety of D. densifolia, it is morphologically and phyletically distinct from that species. Both R. C. Rollins (1993) and N. H. Holmgren (2005b) indicated that the species occurs in Colorado, but we have not seen material for that state. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
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.
