|discussion=<p>Subspecies 2 (2 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p><i>Helianthus petiolaris</i> is adventive beyond western North America.</p><!--
--><p>A third subspecies has yet to be named at that rank in <i>Helianthus petiolaris</i>; it has been called <i>H. petiolaris</i> <i></i>var.<i> canescens</i> A. Gray. It differs in having stems, leaves, and phyllaries densely canescent and abaxial faces of leaves densely gland-dotted. It is additionally characterized by peduncles usually ebracteate, phyllaries 1–2 mm wide, disc corolla throats gradually narrowed distal to slight, not densely hairy basal bulges, and 2n = 34. It flowers late spring through late summer and grows on sandy soils in open areas at (10–)1000–2300 m in Arizona, California, <i>Nevada</i>, New Mexico, and Texas and in Mexico. It was treated as <i>H. niveus</i> (Bentham) Brandegee <i></i>subsp.<i> canescens</i> (A. Gray) Heiser by C. B. Heiser et al. (1969); molecular and morphologic data appear to favor a placement within <i>H. petiolaris</i>.</p>
