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.) |
Draba malpighiacea, which is restricted to higher elevations in Hinsdale, La Plata, and Montezuma counties, has been included within D. spectabilis by previous authors. Preliminary data suggest that it is one of the diploid parents of tetraploid D. spectabilis. It is readily distinguished from all species of Draba in Canada and the United States by having a leaf indumentum of exclusively malpighiaceous trichomes. The only other species in the flora area with such trichomes is D. sibirica, a stoloniferous, scapose perennial known only from Greenland.
