|discussion=<p>The name Lomatogonium rotatum subsp. tenuifolium (Grisebach) A. E. Porsild has often been applied to this taxon but was based on Asiatic plants with which those of interior North America are not equated taxonomically here. Plants of this species with strongly ascending branches like those of Rocky Mountain plants do occur in eastern Asia, but such Asian specimens seen in studies for this flora had larger flowers with more deeply blue-pigmented corollas and proportionately wider corolla lobes. Pending molecular comparisons, it is assumed here that the Rocky Mountain plants have a separate origin from those in Asia.</p>
