Notes

Subspecies hallii previously CRPR 2B.1; taxonomic distinctiveness of sspp. Is not supported; needs genetic, cytological, and morphological study. Threatened by grazing, vehicles, and groundwater drawdown. See An Account of an Expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains 1:453 (1823) for original description, Flora of North America: Exogenous or Dicotyledonous Plants 2(3):487 (1843) for taxonomic treatment, and Publications of the Carnegie Institute of Washington 504:104-107 (1938) for original description of all sspp. Documented in CA.
