|discussion=<p><i>Potentilla paucijuga</i> is a distinctive species endemic to the La Sal Mountains in Grand and San Juan counties. Diagnostic features include silvery-silky subpalmate leaves, relatively showy flowers with elongate epicalyx bractlets and sepals, and styles that are nearly 1.5 mm. In Colorado (for example, W. A. Weber and R. C. Wittman 1996), <i>P. pensylvanica</i> var. paucijuga has been applied to what is treated here as <i>P. jepsonii</i> (sect. Pensylvanicae).</p>
