Sure. It gets a little complicated, though. I pulled out Beaman's monograph and 
found this: few, thick stems=parryi. Many, slender stems=florifer. The two do 
overlap in northeastern Idaho and northwestern Wyoming and form hybrids. 
Townsendia parryi is generally apomictic (the populations that form hybrids are 
sexual). "The clearly marked features of this species are blurred only by 
hybridization with T. florifer."
