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 vaseyi is always found growing in soil, often on roadsides and in road cuts in the southwestern Big Bend area. The more deeply dissected leaves, shorter pappus bristles with barbellate tips, and broader phyllaries help distinguish it from the soil-growing form of P. parryi.
