Draba hitchcockii is known from the Lost River Range in Butte and Custer counties. Based on morphological and chromosomal evidence, M. D. Windham (2004) suggested that it may be an allopolyploid resulting from hybridization between D. oreibata and D. paysonii. Draba hitchcockii is superficially similar to D. jaegeri, a taxon known from the Charleston Mountains of Clark County, Nevada. Both are cespitose perennials with relatively large, white flowers and a chromosome number (2n = 54) otherwise unknown in Draba (Windham). Features distinguishing these two taxa are provided in the discussion of 51. D. jaegeri. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Draba yukonensis is known only from Kluane National Park, southwestern Yukon Territory. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
