|discussion=<p><i>Cirsium clavatum</i> grows from the Colorado Plateau of central Utah eastward into the Rocky Mountains of western Colorado. R. J. Moore and C. Frankton (1965) suggested that <i>C. clavatum</i> (i.e., <i></i>var.<i> clavatum</i> here) is a derivative of hybridization between <i>C. eatonii</i> and C. centaureae (i.e., <i>C. clavatum </i>var.<i> americanum</i> here). S. L. Welsh (1983) noted that the distribution of <i></i>var.<i> clavatum</i> is distinct from those of <i></i>var.<i> americanum</i> and <i>C. eatonii</i>. It is certainly possible that ancient hybridization may have contributed to the origin of <i></i>var.<i> clavatum</i>, but there is no indication that the modern plants over most of its range are hybrids. The morphology of certain plants from southeastern Utah indicates a possibility of hybridization between <i>C. clavatum</i> and <i>C. eatonii </i>var.<i> eatonii</i>. The close relationship between <i></i>var.<i> clavatum</i> and <i></i>var.<i> americanum</i> is evident in the many overlapping vegetative features. The recently described <i>C. clavatum</i> var. markaguntense S. L. Welsh is a minor variant with subentire glabrous leaves.</p>
