|discussion=<p>Variety intermontanus is sympatric with <i></i>var.<i> ledifolius</i> in southern Idaho, southwestern to eastern Oregon, southeastern Washington, and western Wyoming, and with <i></i>var.<i> intricatus</i> in northeastern Arizona, eastern California, <i>Nevada</i>, and Utah.</p><!--
--><p>Leaves in individual specimens of <i></i>var.<i> intermontanus</i> vary in size, with long-shoot leaves largest and the first-formed short-shoot leaves of a season more oblong-ovate and often smaller. Heartwood is hard, very dark, and valued for specialty items. Variety intermontanus has long been known as <i>Cercocarpus ledifolius</i>, or <i></i>var.<i> ledifolius</i>; its type specimen is convarietal with types of var. intercedens.</p>
