Taxonomic Comments
This record is for the broad treatment of Silphium asteriscus as recognized by Clevinger's treatment in FNA (vol. 21, 2006c) which includes S. trifoliatum (as S. asteriscus var. trifoliatum and S. asteriscus var. latifolium) and S. simpsonii, (as S. asteriscus var. simpsonii), which are accepted as distinct by Kartesz (1999), in addition to S. asteriscus var. dentatum (which includes S. asteriscus var. angustatum and probably S. asteriscus var. laevicaule as recognized in Kartesz (1999)). S. asteriscus var. asteriscus as recognized in FNA and Kartesz (1999) appear to be roughly equivalent. Weakley et al. (2024) recognize a narrower treatment, excluding S. simpsonii and S. dentatum as distinct species.
