Of conservation concern. Potentilla johnstonii occurs only in the Quinn Canyon Range in Nye County. Its distinctiveness was first noted by B. C. Johnston (1980), who treated it as a variety of P. concinna using the unpublished epithet curvata. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
