N. H. Holmgren ex Ertter & Reveal

Novon 17: 323. 2007.

Common names: Wasatch ivesia
Endemic
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 9. Treatment on page 235. Mentioned on page 230, 234.

Stems usually greenish, ± erect, (1–) 1.5–4 dm, sometimes sparsely villous, minutely glandular, often glandular-pubescent. Basal leaves 9–20 (–25) × 1–2 (–3) cm; leaflets 7–13 (–18) mm, glabrous or sparsely hirsute or villous marginally. Inflorescences 10–50 (–70) -flowered, usually branched, 2–8 (–11) cm diam., glomerules (1–) 2–6 (–10), ± capitate. Flowers 9–12 mm diam.; epicalyx bractlets 2–4 mm; hypanthium 2.5–4 (–4.5) × 2.5–4 (–5) mm; sepals 3–5 (–6) mm, acute to obtuse; anthers sometimes red-margined.


Phenology: Flowering summer.
Habitat: Talus slopes and outcrops, in montane and subalpine conifer woodlands
Elevation: 2000–3200 m

Discussion

Variety wasatchensis is more broadly defined here than the “wasatchensis” of N. H. Holmgren (1997b). The variety is most distinct in the greater Wasatch Range and in the western Uinta Mountains, where plants are generally larger than other varieties with larger leaves, more elongated leaflets, and multi-headed inflorescences. Less distinctive populations extend along the Idaho-Wyoming border to southwestern Montana. Variety wasatchensis merges with var. gordonii at low elevations in Montana and Wyoming, and with the high-elevation phase assigned here to var. gordonii in Utah.
