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. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Perityle cernua is known only from the Organ Mountains of Doña Ana County. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
