Taxonomic Comments
Per Mast and Reveal (2007), "Primula pauciflora (Greene) A. R. Mast & Reveal, comb. nov., Dodecathon pauciflorum Greene, Pittonia 2: 72. 1890. Replaces D. pulchellum (Raf.) Merr., J. Arnold Arbor. 29: 212. 1948, non P. pulchella Franch., 1888." Reveal's treatment of Dodecatheon pulchellum in FNA (2009, vol. 8) recognizes seven distinct varieties (cusickii, distolum, macrocarpum, monanthum, pulchellum, shoshonense, an zionense). All are transferred to Primula by Mast and Reveal (2007).
