|discussion=<p>R. R. Haynes (1971) recognized two varieties within <i>Conopholis alpina</i> based on purported differences in foliar texture, relative bract length, and glandularity, as well as semi-distinct ranges. However, the molecular and morphological analyses by A. G. Rodrigues et al. (2013) resulted in a reevaluation of taxon circumscriptions and redeterminations of selected specimens. The present treatment follows that of Rodrigues et al. in not recognizing infraspecific taxa within <i>C. alpina</i>.</p><!--
--><p>B. R. McKinney and J. D. Villalobos (2014) documented the seeds of <i>Conopholis alpina</i> in the diet of Mexican black bears. The foraging behavior of bears in the western United States has given rise to one of the vernacular names, bear corn.</p>
