Abstract:

Abronia mellifera var. pahoveorum Ertter & Nosratinia, var. nov., is described from hills on the north side of the Snake River Plains in southwestern Idaho. Because of the immediate need for conservation attention, this variety is published in advance of a more detailed revision of the A. mellifera clade. It differs from other members of the clade in the larger inflorescence bracts that are often broadly ovate or even orbicular, and in the combination of lack of rhizomes, relatively narrow, green, flexible leaves, glandular-septate trichomes in the inflorescence, and moderately hairy fruit with relatively large wings.
