Discussion

Of conservation concern.

Variety rhyolitica forms dense tufts in outcrops near the summits of the Huachuca and Santa Rita ranges (Cochise and Santa Cruz counties). The name Potentilla viscidula (Rydberg) Rydberg (= P. wheeleri var. viscidula Rydberg) was misapplied to these plants by T. H. Kearney and R. H. Peebles (1951); that name has been lectotypified on the hybrid of P. rhyolitica and P. subviscosa (B. Ertter 2007c).
