Discussion | Subspecies siskiyouensis is known from Curry, Douglas, and Josephine counties. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
R. C. Rollins (1966, 1993) recorded a tetraploid count of 2n = 28 from Hinsdale County, Colorado, but subsp. fendleri does not occur in that state, and his count is based on plants of subsp. glauca. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
