Taxonomic Comments
Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2009) as well as Kartesz (1994, 1999) include Lithophragma thompsonii in L. tenellum. "The northwestern population (Washington, British Columbia) has been separated as a distinct species (L. thompsonii) based on the extent of the basal leaf lobation, which often shows considerable variation in all species. However, other populations in the Rocky Mountains, Nevada, and Utah have been observed with this lobation, as has Washington-British Columbia material having the more typical leaf form" (Flora of North America Editorial Committee 2009).
