Taxonomic Comments

Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2006) includes Grindelia laciniata in G. arizonica, with no infrataxa distinguished. In contrast, Kartsez (1994, 1999) recognized G. arizonica with three varieties (stenophylla, neomexicana and arizonica) and G. laciniata as a distinct species.
