Discussion

Specimens that belong to var. microphyllus are frequently misidentified as var. glabrescens when the vestiture is short and dense, such that the leaf surfaces appear to be light green or gray and insufficient magnification is used to see the trichomes. Careful examination is required and in some cases 10× magnification is insufficient due to the short, dense indumentum that occurs in some populations of var. microphyllus. Variety glabrescens is glabrous or glabrate with sessile or stipitate glands alone on the smooth green epidermis. The variety inhabits the northern Great Basin region, in areas that recently have been geologically active, or on mountains adjacent to this region that are currently or were recently tectonically active. Individual populations often comprise a small number of individuals that occupy a narrow ecologic zone on mountain peaks.
