Abstract:

We describe Potentilla maryae Ertter & Mansfield, sp. nov., from Valley Co., Idaho. It combines characters of P. glaucophylla Lehm. var. glaucophylla and P. gracilis var. fastigiata (Nutt.) S. Wats. and is hypothesized to be a recently evolved species originating as a stabilized hybrid of these two species. The new species’ highly restricted range and vulnerability to a variety of threats make it a strong candidate for conservation status.
