|discussion=<p><i>Micranthes rhomboidea</i> is somewhat polymorphic; variants have been given taxonomic designations with little consistency. The chromosome number variation needs thorough study, as in other species of <i>Micranthes</i>, because no obvious correlations with morphology or geographic distribution are known (B. L. Bethers 1973). Reports from Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan) were rejected as misidentifications of <i>M. occidentalis</i>.</p>
