--><p><i>Phemeranthus thompsonii</i> is known only from Emery County. It is very similar to, and perhaps should be merged with, <i>P. validulus</i>, from which it differs mainly in having much shorter peduncles. When originally described, <i>P. thompsonii</i> was thought to differ also in having fewer stamens and longer leaves and petals, but in fact <i>P. validulus</i> sometimes has as few as six stamens, and has maximum leaf and petal lengths greater than those found in <i>P. thompsonii</i>.</p>
