|discussion=<p><i>Minuartia cismontana</i> is closely related to <i>M. californica</i> and <i>M. pusilla</i>, and has been overlooked as the former for many years. Phenology and elevation appear to segregate the species in areas of California where the ranges of <i>M. cismontana</i> and <i>M. californica</i> overlap (R. J. Meinke and P. F. Zika 1992).</p>
