Draba heilii is restricted to Mora and Rio Arriba counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Draba arabisans is often confused with D. glabella (2n = 80); it is easily distinguished by having sessile (versus short-stalked) stellate trichomes on abaxial leaf blade surfaces and longer styles (0.2–)0.4–1 [versus 0.1–0.2(–0.4)] mm. Both species have twisted and plane fruits; D. arabisans has mostly twisted fruits; D. glabella has predominantly plane fruits. The complete absence of simple trichomes proximally on stems of D. arabisans can be a useful feature separating it from D. glabella, which often has at least some simple trichomes on the proximal half of the stem. Draba arabis Persoon is an illegitimate name, sometimes found in synonymy with D. arabisans. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
