|discussion=<p><i>Synthyris wyomingensis</i> is highly variable over its wide elevational and geographic ranges. Populations in the northern and western part of the range have bluish purple stamens; those in the southeastern part of the range have white to whitish yellow stamens. Tetraploid (2n = 48) populations are known only from the Bridger Mountains, Montana; populations from elsewhere are diploid 2n = 24 (C. G. Schaack 1983).</p>
