Discussion
Parrya rydbergii, which is restricted to Uinta and Emmons mountains in Utah (Daggett, Duchesne, Summit, and Uintah counties) and Beartooth and Big Sheep mountains in Wyoming (Park and Sublette counties), was treated by E. Hultén (1971) as a subspecies of P. nudicaulis and reduced by R. C. Rollins (1993) to synonymy of that species. It is geographically disjunct from P. nudicaulis and can be easily distinguished from that nearest relative.
