Abstract
In this study a multivariate statistical analysis utilizes the linear discriminant function that has been used to substantiate the shift of the variety lagocephala (Sharp) Cronq., from Balsamorhiza hirsuta, to B. hookeri (Cronquist, 1955). This method can be used to determine the placement of other questionable taxa.
In addition, this paper deals with the history, morphology and distribution of B. hirsuta, B. hookeri var. hookeri, and B. hookeri var. lagocephala.
