--><p><i>Corispermum americanum </i>var.<i> americanum</i> may also occur in British Columbia, where only immature specimens have been seen. Specimens from Oregon and Wyoming are transitional toward <i>Corispermum villosum</i>. The names <i>C. hyssopifolium</i> and <i>C. nitidum</i> were commonly misapplied to this native species by many authors (see also note under <i>C. nitidum</i>).</p>
