Concept ReferenceMansfield, D.H., M. Stevens, L. Polito, J.F. Smith, and M. Darrach. 2016. Lomatium basalticum (Apiaceae), a new species from the vicinity of Hells Canyon in Oregon and Idaho. Phytoneuron 74: 1-13.
Taxonomic CommentsLomatium basalticum is distinguished from L. brunsfeldianum and L. grayi morphologically, ecologically,and genetically (Mansfield et al. 2016). Mansfield et al. (2018) report that Lomatium basalticum was described without knowledge of the type specimens of Leptotaenia filicina M.E. Jones described in 1902 and provide the combination Lomatium filicinum to accommodate the earlier name. Lomatium basalticum and Lomatium filicinum represent the same species.
