Discussion

Drymocallis campanulata is one of the more distinct species in the genus, with its campanulate flowers, relatively large butter yellow petals, and densely glandular pedicels. It occurs primarily in the canyons of the John Day River in Grant and Wheeler counties.

The invalidly published Potentilla campanulata D. D. Keck provides a full description and illustration for the subsequent basionym.
