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.

Of conservation concern.

Perityle fosteri, possibly a close relative of P. rupestris, is known only from Culberson County.
