|discussion=<p>Variety laxifolium is found in Idaho (Bear River County) and in Utah (Carbon, Duchesne, Emery, Juab, Millard, Salt Lake, Sanpete, Sevier, Tooele, Uintah, Utah, Wasatch, and Weber counties), where it occurs mainly on the western foothills of the Wasatch Range. Plants often have a reddish tomentum rather than the grayish tomentum of the consistently capitate expressions of vars. bannockense, nanum, and caelitum. Plants from the Tavaputs Plateau with exceedingly long, narrow leaf blades have been segregated as var. huberi, but plants with even longer leaves occur elsewhere (as in the Soldier Summit area of Utah County, Utah), and the difference is not taxonomically significant.</p>
