Phenology: Flowering late Apr–May.
Habitat: Gravel-covered clay hills, desert grasslands, saltbush, rabbitbrush flats
Elevation: 1300-1500 m
Discussion
Of conservation concern.
Sclerocactus wetlandicus is morphologically very similar to S. glaucus and frequently has been treated within S. glaucus (L. D. Benson 1982; K. D. Heil and J. M. Porter 1994), a treatment disputed by F. Hochstätter (1997). Populations are geographically separated in Duchesne and Uintah counties, Utah. Phylogenetic analyses of chloroplast DNA (J. M. Porter et al. 2000) are ambiguous regarding the closest relative of S. wetlandicus; however, this species is related to S. brevispinus, S. glaucus, S. wrightiae, S. whipplei, and S. parviflorus.
