Taxonomic Comments
Previous treatments accepted this taxon as a subspecies of Sidalcea malviflora. Hill's FNA (2015) treatment recognizes it as a distinct species, Sidalcea sparsifolia and includes previously recognized varieties of S. malviflora ssp. sparsifolia in synonymy of S. sparsifolia saying, "None of the varieties described within S. malviflora subsp. sparsifolia is recognized here but one or more of them may merit distinction."
