Discussion

Perityle ciliata is found only in the mountains of central Arizona in Apache, Coconino, Gila, Mohave, and Yavapai counties. It appears to be most closely related to P. coronopifolia.

Perityle angustifolia occurs in crevices of Cretaceous limestone in west Texas near the Rio Grande and along the eroded, western edge of the Edwards Plateau.
