| Taxonomy Comments: | FNA (vol. 9, 2014) transfers Potentilla diversifolia var. perdissecta (= P. glaucophylla var. perdissecta) and P. diversifolia var. ranunculus (= P. glaucophylla var. glaucophylla) to P. glaucophylla. It is unclear whether FNA includes the typical P. diversifolia var. diversifolia in P. glaucophylla var. glaucophylla. FNA also places most plants from Arizona and New Mexico previously placed in P. glaucophylla (as P. diversifolia Lehmann) into P. townsendii. | ||||||||||
