--><p><i>Ivesia cryptocaulis</i> is known only from timberline and above in the Spring Mountains of Clark County. Plants differ from all others of the genus by having slender, elongate, diffuse caudex branches that ramify through its habitat of gravel, scree, and talus. The species is here provisionally included in sect. Setosae as a diffusely matted relative of <i>I. shockleyi</i> (as also suggested by D. D. Keck 1938); the ecarunculate seeds and relatively straight pedicels may indicate a greater similarity to <i>I. pygmaea</i> in sect. <i>Ivesia</i>.</p>
