|discussion=<p><i>Draba malpighiacea</i>, which is restricted to higher elevations in Hinsdale, La Plata, and Montezuma counties, has been included within <i>D. spectabilis</i> by previous authors. Preliminary data suggest that it is one of the diploid parents of tetraploid <i>D. spectabilis</i>. It is readily distinguished from all species of <i>Draba</i> in Canada and the United States by having a leaf indumentum of exclusively malpighiaceous trichomes. The only other species in the flora area with such trichomes is <i>D. sibirica</i>, a stoloniferous, scapose perennial known only from Greenland.</p>
