Taxonomic Comments

Draba verna (accepted by Kartesz, 1994 and 1999), is sometimes treated in a different genus as Erophila verna. Kartesz does not recognize varieties within the North American representation of this species. The variety boerhaavii is sometimes recognized; the name Eriophila verna ssp. praecox is considered by Yatskievych and Turner (Cat. Missouri Flora, 1990) to be a synonym of it.
