--><p>R. C. Rollins (1947, 1993) separated <i>Sibara deserti</i> from S. rosulata primarily by having pendent to reflexed fruits less than 1–1.5 cm (versus divaricate-ascending fruits 1.5–3 cm), slender (versus club-shaped) styles, and presence (versus absence) of basal rosettes. These characters show continuous variation from one extreme to the other and are found in various combinations. The length and orientation of fruits can vary substantially in a single population or even on the same plant. For example, in Rollins & Munz 6743 and Rollins & Munz 6744 (both at GH and collected from the same general area) the fruits are ascending, divaricate, or reflexed and are 1.5–2.5 cm. Styles can be slender to stout, cylindrical to slightly club-shaped, and 1–3 mm; their considerable variation is independent of fruit length and orientation. <i>Sibara deserti</i> and S. rosulata are identical in leaf and trichome morphology, flower color and size, seed size, the overall range of variation in fruit size and length, and the orientation of fruiting pedicels. The complex represents a single species easily distinguished from the remaining North American members of <i>Sibara</i> by having minute, dendritic to forked (instead of simple) or no trichomes.</p>
