|discussion=<p>A series of at least partially stabilized introgressants between <i>Atriplex gardneri </i>var.<i> cuneata</i> and <i></i></i>var.<i><i> utahensis</i> in Carbon County form the basis of A. cuneata subsp. introgressa C. A. Hanson (type from Wellington, Hanson 346, 1961, holotype BRY!). The hybrids between <i></i></i>var.<i><i> cuneata</i> and <i>A. confertifolia</i> have been described as <i>A. neomexicana</i> Standley; they occur where the ranges of the taxa overlap. The Castle Valley saltbush also forms apparent hybrids with <i>A. canescens</i>.</p>
