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 cochisensis is known only from the Chiricahua Mountains of southeastern Arizona. Some collections of P. lemmonii from the Big Hatchet Mountains of Hidalgo County in southwestern New Mexico may have petioles approaching the length of the blades as in P. cochisensis. The densely pilose or villous induments of those New Mexican plants is similar to that of P. lemmonii. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
