|discussion=<p>Variety glabrata apparently is morphologically discontinuous from <i></i>var.<i> squarrosa</i> where their ranges closely approach each other (but do not meet) in Texas, and they might be treated as separate species, especially in view of the treatment here of <i>Liatris compacta</i> at specific rank. Within <i></i>var.<i> squarrosa</i> as treated here, plants along the Gulf coast tend to have much reduced phyllary vestiture (<i></i>var.<i> alabamensis</i>) and perhaps represent the precursor to <i></i>var.<i> glabrata</i>. Involucres of <i></i>var.<i> squarrosa</i> sometimes approach the morphology of <i>L. hirsuta</i>; this appears to be parallel expression of ancestral similarity, because such plants often are long-separated from the geographic range of <i>L. hirsuta</i>. Heads tend to be more numerous and more crowded in <i></i>var.<i> glabrata</i> than in <i></i>var.<i> squarrosa</i>.</p>
