Discussion | Of conservation concern. Similarities of Perityle tenella to P. congesta are discussed under the latter. Perityle tenella occurs in northwestern Arizona, southeastern Nevada, and southwestern Utah. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Of conservation concern. Perityle inyoensis occurs in the southern Inyo Mountains. It is allied to P. megalocephala, which occurs at intermediate and lower elevations to the north and east of P. inyoensis. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
