Notes:—All of Nuttall’s N. minima plants, including that labeled “Rocky Mtns” (BM barcode BM0000801498 image!) are likely from a single collection in the Caribou Mountain Range near the Blackfoot River, Idaho ( Table 1 ). Nevertheless, we formally designate only the specimens that reference the Columbia Plains, in deference to the protologue that is almost certainly in error. Day (1993a) rather than Cronquist (1984) inadvertently provided the first step lectotypification. In the first volume of the Intermountain Flora , Cronquist et al. (1972: 8) state, “When one of several collections cited in the protologue is obviously the primary basis for a name, we have given it as the type, without further comment. Sometimes the typification is less clear and a more cautious statement is necessary. Our citation is not to be taken as the formal selection of a lectotype , except when specifically so indicated.”
