|phenology=Flowering late Mar–early Jun.
|habitat=Exposed, rocky slopes, ledges, bluffs with shallow soil, often cracks and crevices, alluvial slopes of limestone, dolomite, sandstone, or granite, with Artemisia, Coleogyne, Ephedra, Nolina, Purshia, pinyon and ponderosa pine, oaks, juniper woodlands

|discussion=<p>Variety intricatus is distinguished by rigid, moderately to strongly branched growth habit and stems densely clothed by linear, coriaceous, strongly revolute leaves with the abaxial surface exposed only along a narrow central groove. Long-shoot leaves are often larger than those of short shoots.</p><!--
--><p>Variety intricatus is often treated as a distinct species; it is known to hybridize with <i></i></i>var.<i><i> intermontanus</i> and <i></i></i>var.<i><i> ledifolius</i>. Here, <i></i></i>var.<i><i> intricatus</i> is restricted to plants with relatively small leaves. Variants with larger leaves, possible introgressants with the other taxa, are placed in <i></i></i>var.<i><i> ledifolius</i>.</p>
