Tex., Mexico (Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas).

Discussion

Populations with at least the distal leaves entire have been called Isocoma pedicellata, and these apparently segregate geographically, at least to some extent (G. L. Nesom 1991c). Some plants have both entire and pinnatifid leaves; the distinction does not appear to warrant formal recognition.
