Taxonomic Comments
This record represents Lomatium macdougalii in the narrow sense following Botello et al. (2024) that is known from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and possibly Colorado (Botello et al. 2024, G. Doyle, pers. comm., 2026). It does not include L. semivaginatum, which Botello et al. (2024) describe as a distinct species known from Oregon, Idaho, and Montana, and also does not include material in Nevada that Botello et al. (2024) recognize as L. fimbriatum (=L. foenciulaceum ssp. fimbriatum), material in Wyoming that Botello et al. (2024) recognize as L. foeniculaceum var. foeniculaceum, and material in Colorado that Botello et al. (2024) recognize as L. foeniculaceum var. daucifolium. In contrast, FNA (vol. 13, 2024) treated L. foeniculaceum ssp. macdougalii as a broader concept with a range in all states from Oregon to Montana south to Arizona and New Mexico.
