Notes

Ericameria nauseosa was abundant along Cow Dung Road due north of MDRS, in the lowlands between rocky outcrops between MDRS and the Burpee Dinosaur Quarry (Fig. 27). Welsh et al. (1993) treats this species as Chrysothamnus nauseous (Pallas ex Pursh) Britton, with 14 varieties in Utah. Four of these varieties ( C. nauseous var. consimilis (Greene) Hall, C. nauseous var. gnaphaloides (Greene) Hall, C. nauseous var. junceus (Greene) Hall, and C. nauseous var. leiospermus (Gray) Hall) were previously reported for the nearby San Rafael Swell ( Harris 1983). Urbatshc et al. (2006), whose treatment we follow here, accept 21 varieties in North America; however we were unable to identify our specimen to variety as the diagnostic phyllaries were missing.
