|discussion=<p>Gaiser distinguished <i></i>var.<i> punctata</i> (type from Saskatchewan) from <i></i>var.<i> nebraskana</i> by its thicker, often shorter stems, broader and shorter leaves, leaves and phyllaries with ciliate margins, and phyllaries with lanceolate-acuminate apices. Weak geographic trends exist in these features; variability renders <i></i>var.<i> nebraskana</i> largely typological and necessitates much arbitrary identification. B. R. Menhusen (1963) also did not find justification for recognizing <i></i>var.<i> nebraskana</i>. Variation in chromosome number may be associated with some of the apparent polymorphism.</p><!--
--><p><i>Liatris</i> densispicata was described from sand dunes in Minnesota. It was said to have “an elongate rootstock that runs horizontally in the sand, giving off clusters of aerial stems,” and to differ from <i>L. punctata</i> by “the generally finer and more slender structure of the stem, spike, and leaves” (L. O. Gaiser 1946, p. 363). It was listed as a synonym of <i>L. punctata</i> by G. B. Ownbey and T. Morley (1991).</p>
