Discussion
Variety canovirens occurs from the dry mountains and valleys of eastern Oregon and the rain shadow slopes of the northern Sierra Nevada eastward across the northern Great Basin to Idaho, southern Montana, and western Wyoming. D. J. Keil and C. E. Turner (1993) recognized a polymorphic Cirsium canovirens that included C. subniveum (here treated as C. inamoenum). My subsequent investigations indicate that the merger of those taxa was erroneous, based in part on mis-identified specimens.
