Navarretia saximontana S.C. Spencer (2003: 198), sp. emend . Plants as per the original description, with the longest two calyx lobes mostly entire, infrequently 2–3 pronged. Corolla 4.8–6.2 mm long, lobes 0.4–0.8 mm wide, 0.6–1.1 mm long. Stamen filaments 0.4–1.2 mm long, inserted 0.6–1.2 mm below the sinuses. Tetraploid. Although widely distributed, our surveys indicate that type locality is the only known population within the state of Utah—with all other putitive populations representing N. furnissii .
