|discussion=<p><i>Grindelia squarrosa</i> is probably native to the Great Plains and, perhaps, Rocky Mountain areas; it is widely introduced in other areas. Some plants are intermediate between it and <i>G. hirsutula</i> (i.e., between <i>G. squarrosa</i> and G. perennis, which has been treated as a variety of <i>G. squarrosa</i>). Plants of <i>G. squarrosa</i> with relatively narrow leaf blades (lengths mostly 5–8 times widths), mostly from the western part of the range of the species, have been treated as <i>G. squarrosa</i> var. serrulata. G. L. Nesom (1990i) and others have treated discoid plants included here in <i>G. squarrosa</i> as distinct (as G. aphanactis, G. nuda, and/or G. nuda vars. aphanactis and nuda); Nesom reported cypselae to be dimorphic in heads of radiate plants and monomorphic in discoid plants and noted that populations with discoid plants occur mostly south and west of populations with radiate plants. According to Nesom, plants of G. nuda with stems usually reddish (versus sometimes greenish), lengths of blades of mid-cauline leaves 4–10 (versus 1.5–4) times widths, and cypselae ± deeply furrowed (versus striate to shallowly furrowed) should be called G. nuda <i></i>var.<i> aphanactis</i>.</p><!--
--><p>Hybrids between <i>Grindelia squarrosa</i> (nuda) and <i>G. arizonica</i> have been recorded from Arizona and New Mexico.</p>
