--><p><i>Draba arida</i> is a sexually reproducing, diploid member of the <i>D. ventosa</i> complex that may have been involved in the origin of the more widespread apomictic triploids (M. A. Beilstein and M. D. Windham 2003). The species is known from the Monitor, Toiyabe, and Toquima ranges in Lander and Nye counties.</p>
