E. Ulbrich, in his monograph, 102 considers this species to be 

 included in A. Baldensis L., a disposition of the West American plant 

 with which Dr. Jepson (Fl. Calif., vol. 1, p. 528) concurs; this con- 

 clusion I believe erroneous, since as compared with the plant of 

 Eurasia, our species constantly shows narrower leaf segments, shorter 

 leaflet petioles and diminished pubescence. For these reasons, it has 

 seemed to me best to retain A. Drummondii as a distinct specific unit, 

 while recognizing its close relationship with the Old World species.
