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.) |
Perityle lemmonii, which occurs in the mountain areas of southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico, has variable leaf morphology that is often consistent within geographic populations. Its former inclusion within P. dissecta is discussed under that species. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
