Section: [26n] Section 10 Deweyanae.

Origin/Endemic status: Endemic

Taxonomy Comments: This taxon needs further study in order to assess whether specific status is warranted, as seems likely. Naczi (1999b) provided additional evidence for its recognition, in the form of different chromosome numbers (n=30-31 for ssp. montana and n= 32-34 for ssp. bromoides).
