Taxonomic Comments
Treated as Physaria montana in Flora North America (2010, vol. 7), the distribution in Kartesz (1999) is similar but not equal to that presented in FNA. Kartesz (1999) includes a report in Utah from Rollins (1993), and FNA includes a report from Arizona which Kartesz (1999) does not, however, the material in Arizona may have been discovered after 1999. Finally, FNA notes that "Physaria montana is a rather variable species that in southwestern Colorado morphologically approaches P. rectipes and in eastern Wyoming approaches P. curvipes".
