|discussion=<p>Variety vernum is known from several scattered populations in northern Nye County. It flowers mainly in May and early June, with some fruit-bearing flowers persisting into early July. Flower color can vary from bright to pale yellow in a single population. The taxon clearly is related to <i></i>var.<i> nevadense</i>, which in central <i>Nevada</i> occurs at higher elevations (mainly in pinyon-juniper communities). The shrubs certainly are worthy of cultivation.</p>
