|discussion=<p>Variety desereticum is widely scattered in southern Idaho (Bear Lake, Blaine, Custer, and Owyhee counties), southwestern Montana (Park County), and southwestern Wyoming (Carbon, Teton, and Uinta counties) south into northeastern <i>Nevada</i> (Elko County) and northern Utah (Box Elder, Carbon, Daggett, Duchesne, Emery, Juab, Millard, Piute, Rich, Salt Lake, Sanpete, Summit, Tooele, Utah, and Wasatch counties). It is common only in Utah and southeastern Idaho. Variety desereticum is related to <i></i>var.<i> dichrocephalum</i>, but the two rarely occur together. Late in the season, high-elevation plants can have attractive, bright red leaves. Such plants approach <i></i>var.<i> porteri</i> in aspect, especially in the Jarbidge, Ruby, and East Humboldt mountains of <i>Nevada</i>. The Deseret sulphur flower is worthy of cultivation.</p>
