Discussion

Variety elmeri is the characteristic representative of Potentilla gracilis in the Great Basin, distinguished by deeply and evenly pectinate-toothed leaflets with a very narrow undivided medial blade. Leaflet surfaces are only somewhat dissimilar, most often grayish with abundant crisped (versus cottony) hairs abaxially. Basal leaves tend to be shorter than in other varieties, and petioles are most often tightly strigose. Intergradation with other varieties is common; populations beyond the Great Basin are problematic.
