Taxonomic Comments
Flora of North America Editorial Committee (2015) recognizes Sphaeralcea munroana (with no subspecies) and S. parvifolia but notes "S. munroana and S. parvifolia are difficult to distinguish and may be conspecific. Sphaeralcea parvifolia is more southern and smaller overall; S. munroana is more northern and more robust."
