|discussion=<p>Plants of <i>Grindelia arizonica</i> with ± hemispheric involucres and apices of phyllaries ± subulate (versus lance-acuminate to deltate) have been called <i></i>var.<i> neomexicana</i> (or G. neomexicana). Plants known as <i></i>var.<i> stenophylla</i> differ from typical <i>G. arizonica</i> in having leaf margins toothed mostly toward apices (versus toothed from bases to apices). Plants of <i>G. arizonica</i> (from northern Arizona, southwestern Colorado, and southeastern Utah) with leaf margins pinnately lobed to ± laciniate or coarsely dentate have been called G. laciniata. Some herbarium specimens that have been identified as G. aphanactis (see 4. <i>G. squarrosa</i>) appear to be discoid plants of <i>G. arizonica</i>. Hybrids between <i>G. arizonica</i> and <i>G. squarrosa</i> have been recorded from Colorado and Utah.</p>
