|discussion=<p>Varieties 9 (9 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p><i>Heterotheca villosa</i> is variable in stem height, leaf base shape, stem and leaf indument, number of heads, and number of florets. Thus, the species is difficult to circumscribe because each variety has a suite of diagnostic traits and a distribution that is restricted to a portion of the range of the species. Generally, <i></i>var.<i> minor</i> (glandular), and to a lesser extent, <i></i>var.<i> foliosa</i> (eglandular) are the glue holding the other varieties together in a widely distributed polymorphic species; this is comparable to the situation in <i>H. sessiliflora</i>, in which var. echioides is the glue. Variety minor hybridizes with all other varieties. Numerous local races occur that are sometimes quite distinct when extreme, but they intergrade with one or more other races, especially in <i></i>var.<i> minor</i> (J. C. Semple 1996). The species is divided here on the basis of indument features, leaf shape, and stem height, paralleling the infraspecific treatments of <i>H. fulcrata</i> and <i>H. sessiliflora</i>. H. A. Gleason and A. Cronquist (1991) and Cronquist (1994) acknowledged the variability of the species and the existence of many local races, but lumped most of these into <i></i>var.<i> villosa</i> and <i></i>var.<i> hispida</i> of <i>Chrysopsis</i> villosa, in which they also included <i>H. camporum</i>, <i>H. canescens</i>, <i>H. fulcrata</i>, <i>H. pumila</i>, <i>H. stenophylla </i>var.<i> angustifolia</i>, <i>H. viscida</i>, and <i>H. zionensis</i>. Diploid races are usually distinct from each other, but each has given rise to one or more tetraploid lines that are less distinct. The treatment here is based on the detailed presentation in Semple.</p>
