|discussion=<p><i>Packera indecora</i> is found at relatively low elevations in eastern Canada and at middle to subalpine elevations in the western cordillera. It closely resembles <i>P. pauciflora</i> and it is often difficult to identify specimens in the herbarium. Biosystematic studies (J. F. Bain and J. Whitton 1994) have indicated that although they are morphologically similar, <i>P. indecora</i> and <i>P. pauciflora</i> have distinctly different physiologies and should be maintained as distinct taxa.</p>
