Taxonomic Comments

This record is for the treatment of Boechera rectissima as treated in FNA (2010, vol. 7) which excludes plants that had been assigned to Arabis rectissima var. simulans (as treated in Kartesz (1999)) as hybrids between B. rectissima and B. retrofracta. Thus, Arabis rectissima var. rectissima sensu Kartesz (1999) is equivalent in concept to B. rectissima sensu FNA (2010).
