Discussion
J. L. Reveal (1977c) separated var. avia from var. kanabensis, and believed it to be more closely related to var. angustissima. S. L. Welsh et al. (1993) considered var. avia to be a northern, high elevation variant at the end of a cline within the species. It occurs in loamy, rocky soils instead of the sandy soils that the other varieties inhabit. Little is known about this variety.
