Packera sanguisorboides
Packera millefolium
Packera sanguisorboides is known from the San Juan and Sangre de Cristo mountains of northern New Mexico, the Magdalena Mountains of western New Mexico, and the Sacramento Mountains of southern Lincoln and Otero counties. It may have affinities with P. coahuilensis Greenman.

Of conservation concern.
Packera millefolia is known only from granitic soils in the southern Appalachians. It is similar in overall aspect to the widespread P. anonyma; it differs by its 2–3 times pinnately dissected leaves.
