The members of this genus display great variation, and as many as 6 genera 

 have been described and 88 forms, nearly all of which have been given specific 

 rank at one time or another. Intergrading characters are many, and in this 

 treatment we follow that of Hall and Clements (2^7). 



The following records apply not only to woody species but to herbaceous 

 ones, of which there are many : 



Stomach records (in addition to specific records): Mountain sheep; black- 

 tailed deer. Observations (in addition to specific records) : A reserve food of 

 western white-tailed jack rabbit ; Oregon jack rabbit, mule deer, Arizona jack 

 rabbit, western chipmunk, bighorn ; generally of considerable importance as 

 cover for plains birds and mammals. Palatability worthless to fairly good for 

 livestock.
