|discussion=<p>Morphological evidence suggests that <i>Boechera gracilenta</i> is an apomictic species that arose through hybridization between <i>B. fendleri</i> and <i>B. pallidifolia</i>; it is superficially similar to the sexual diploid <i>B. perennans</i> but is not closely related (see M. D. Windham and I. A. Al-Shehbaz 2007b for detailed comparison).</p>
