Discussion
Pyrrocoma radiata is known only from the southern end of the Snake River canyon in Oregon and Idaho. It is considered endangered in Oregon. It is recognized by its large stature, glabrous herbage, and very large heads. It is most closely related to P. carthamoides and was formerly treated as a variety of that species. It is hexaploid and may be a gigas form of P. carthamoides.
