Notes

Harris (1983) reported two varieties of this species from the nearby San Rafael Swell: Astragalus desperatus var. desperatus and Astragalus desperatus var. petrophilus M.E. Jones. Both varieties are accepted in Welsh (2006). Barneby (1964) treats this species as containing var. desperatus and var. conspectus Barneby, the later of which is synonymous with Welsh's Astragalus barnebyi S.L. Welsh & N.D. Atwood ( Welsh 2006). As our collection was vegetative, we were unable to identify it to variety.
