Discussion
Of conservation concern.
Variety doloresensis is distinguished by its much-branched stems, almost filiform leaves, and smooth cypselae. It is known only from the Dolores River valley and is similar to var. dianthopsis, which is distinguished by being less branched and by having broader leaves.
Variety doloresensis is in the Center for Plant Conservation’s National Collection of Endangered Plants.
