Variable. Some plants from Greenland are exceedingly robust (described as L. obtusata
Steud.); the aberrant variation probably depends on edaphic conditions. Plants from W USA
and SW Canada require further study; towards the south, the western plants show a tendency
to broader leaves, longer tepals and broader seeds. The stamen and seed characters, however,
are within the subsp. spicata limits. If the western plants prove to represent a distinct taxon,
two names, var. nova Smiley, and subsp. saximontana Á.Löve & D.Löve, are referable to it.
