Taxonomic Comments
This record represents the narrow sense of Lomatium triternatum following FNA (vol. 13, 2024). FNA (vol. 13, 2024) does not recognize infrataxa in L. triternatum and includes L. triternatum var. macrocarpum in the synonymy of L. triternatum. FNA (vol. 13, 2024) elevates L. triternatum var. anomalum to L. anomalum, and L. triternatum var. brevifolium to L. brevifolium. The distribution of L. triternatum in FNA (vol. 13, 2024) is only Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. FNA (vol. 13, 2024) states "reports of L. triternaum from outside this range are based on other species in this complex (L. andrusianum, L. anomalum, L. breviolium, L. packardiae) or L. simplex. Additional study of the whole complex is needed."
