Discussion | Some plants approach Isocoma acradenia var. acradenia in leaf and phyllary morphology in southern Arizona, where the ranges of the two taxa overlap. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Isocoma arguta is known only from Contra Costa and Solano counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
