|discussion=<p>The racemes in <i>Piperia unalascensis</i> are usually slender and sparsely flowered; racemes of uncommon coastal populations (including the type) are short, stout, and densely flowered. Plants of the coast ranges and the Pacific Northwest are stouter and have broader sepals and petals than do interior and montane forms. Two sympatric forms appear to be in the Sierra <i>Nevada</i>, differing in lip morphology and scent.</p>
