--><p>Variety pulchra is known only from the San Juan River basin (Washington and Kane counties, Utah; Coconino County, Arizona). It is of conservation concern in Utah. Recently, S. L. Welsh (Welsh et al. 2003) transferred <i></i>var.<i> pulchra</i> from <i>Aster</i> glaucodes (syn. <i>H. glauca</i>) to A. wasatchensis on the grounds of its glandularity and “general conformation,” while acknowledging the glaucous foliage shared with <i>Herrickia glauca</i>. Yet the variety does not share critical features of the involucre with <i>H. wasatchensis</i>, and the glandularity is most likely a shared primitive feature within the group and is therefore not indicative of a particular relationship within the group. Distribution and morphology strongly suggest the relationships reported here. Alternately, <i></i>var.<i> pulchra</i> may represent a distinct species, as hypothesized by G. L. Nesom (1994b).</p>
