--><p>Fifteen of the species treated here occur also in Mexico; those that do not are <i>Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium</i>, <i>P. saxicola</i>, <i>P. micradenium</i>, and <i>P. helleri</i> (eastern United States and adjacent Canada), and <i>P. ramosissimum</i> and <i>P. thermale</i> (western United States and adjacent Canada).</p><!--
--><p>Basal and proximal leaves of <i>Pseudognaphalium</i> species often wither before plants reach flowering. In the key and descriptions here, references to leaves are to cauline leaves of plants at flowering unless otherwise indicated.</p>
