|discussion=<p><i>Sidalcea neomexicana</i> is variable among and within populations. It is similar to <i>S. covillei</i> and <i>S. sparsifolia</i>, the former possibly derived from it. <i>Sidalcea neomexicana</i> usually can be distinguished by its fleshy roots; hirsute stems; slender pedicels (especially in fruit); pustulate, coarse calyx hairs; and relatively smooth mericarp surfaces. Some plants (in California and Mexico) are well adapted to hot desert springs; overall, <i>S. neomexicana</i> appears to have roots and a rootstock adapted to marshy conditions. It ranges farther south than any other <i>Sidalcea</i>. E. M. F. Roush (1931) recognized no subspecific taxa; C. L. Hitchcock (1957) accepted four geographically and morphologically defined subspecies, three of which (crenulata, neomexicana, thurberi) occur north of Mexico.</p>
