Origin/Endemic status: Native

Taxonomy Comments: More research is needed on the distinctive nature of Palafoxia texana var. ambigua, which apparently lacks stipitate glandular phyllaries and has shorter pappus scales than P. texana var. texana. However, some gradation apparently occurs along the western margins of its overlap with the more inland P. texana var. texana.
