Taxonomic Comments

This record is for a broad treatment of Sairocarpus vexillocalyculatus, including as accepted subspecies breweri, intermedius, and vexillocalyculatus and S. elmeri as indistinct, as recognized by Barringer in FNA (2019, vol. 17). Kartesz (1994 and 1999) recognizes a more narrow treatment, excluding Sairocarpus elmeri and S. breweri (including S. vexillocalyculatus ssp. intermedium in part) as distinct species. Keil et al. (2020), like FNA (2019), also recognize breweri and intermedius as distinct subspecies, but treat S. vexillocalyculatus as Antirrrhinum vexillocalyculatum.
