Discussion
The taxonomic status of Poteridium occidentale has been controversial. Most floristicians of the twentieth century accepted it as distinct from the more eastern P. annuum (usually treating the two in Sanguisorba); but in recent decades a trend developed to merge the two taxa. While superficially similar, they seem to represent independent evolutionary lineages, as indicated by morphologic distinctions and allopatric distributions.

None.
