| Discussion | Subspecies 2 (2 in the flora). Perideridia bolanderi is distinguishable from all other species in the genus by the following combination of characters: ultimate divisions of the basal leaves dimorphic, or if homomorphic, less than 1 mm wide; bracts and bractlets broad, conspicuously scarious, and cuspidate or acuminate, or if only broadly scarious-margined and acuminate, the bracts persistent at maturity; and mericarps oblong with 2–3 oil ducts in the intervals. Although the two subspecies share this combination of characters, phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequence data shows that they do not form a monophyletic group, though this separation is only weakly supported (S. R. Downie et al. 2004). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Subspecies bolanderi is found from western Wyoming and northern Utah west across the Great Basin to eastern Oregon and Washington, and throughout the Sierra Nevada of California. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
