Of conservation concern. Draba monoensis appears to be polyploid (M. D. Windham, unpubl.), and its morphological similarity to D. fladnizensis (R. C. Rollins 1993) may indicate that the latter is one of its progenitors. The species is known from the White Mountains of Mono County. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Almost all recent North American authors have used the name Draba hyperborea for this species. A. N. Berkutenko (1995) clearly showed that the type of that name belongs to an entirely different species that she placed in the genus Schivereckia Andrzejowski ex de Candolle. Draba grandis thus becomes the correct name for the North American taxon. Except for its fleshy leaves, Nesodraba is indistinguishable morphologically and molecularly from other species of Draba.
