|discussion=<p>In both habitat and morphology, <i>Micranthes oregana</i> is similar to <i>M. pensylvanica</i>. A thorough investigation of the two species, especially the populations in Colorado that are disjunct from those in Montana, is needed to clarify relationships. The name <i>Saxifraga</i> integrifolia was misapplied to <i>M. oregana</i> by early California authors.</p>
