Remarks
The new variety grows in mid-montane meadows from the Owyhee Mountains in southwestern Idaho to the Ochoco Mountains in northeastern Oregon. It is conceivably of hybrid origin, with Potentilla breweri S. Watson providing the petiole vestiture that is otherwise unknown in Potentilla sect. Graciles. (vide protologue).
