--><p>Population-level studies of chloroplast DNA (J. M. Porter et al. unpubl.) confirm a close relationship between <i>Pediocactus despainii</i> and <i>P. winkleri</i>. Genetic relationships among populations correspond to geographic features of the region: populations with the San Rafael Swell represent one group of related populations, and populations south of the San Rafael Swell represent another group of related populations. This pattern conflicts in some ways with morphology. While all of the populations south of the San Rafael Swell are classified as <i>P. winkleri</i>, within the Swell some populations are <i>P. despainii</i>, several are <i>P. winkleri</i>, and a few are morphologically intermediate.</p>
