|discussion=<p><i>Nothocalaïs nigrescens</i> grows in the northern and middle Rocky Mountains. It is generally well separated in habitat and elevation from <i>N. cuspidata</i> and <i>N. troximoides</i>; intermediate populations are sometimes found in areas of contact with the two related taxa. In Montana, apparent hybrids with <i>N. cuspidata</i> have been found in the upper valleys of the Yellowstone and Missouri rivers. Intermediates between <i>N. nigrescens</i> and <i>N. troximoides</i> occur rather widely in Idaho, in areas where the sagebrush steppe habitats of the latter species penetrate the coniferous zone. As discussed below, most of the assumed hybrid populations more closely resemble <i>N. troximoides</i>.</p>
