|discussion=<p><i>Stylocline micropoides</i> occurs throughout warm deserts of the flora area, through the Grand Canyon to southern Utah and up Owens Valley to the White Mountains of California. Sterile and malformed natural hybrids between <i>S. micropoides</i> and <i>Logfia arizonica</i> have been seen. The description of <i>S. micropoides</i> by D. S. Correll and M. C. Johnston (1970) was clearly based on specimens of <i>L. filaginoides</i>; both species occur near El Paso, Texas.</p>
