Great Basin Naturalist
Abstract
Measurements were made of morphological characteristics of ephemeral and persistent leaves of three subspecies of big sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata Nutt.) grown in a uniform environment. No morphological feature clearly separated the subspecies. Genetic-environmental interactions on leaf morphology apparently reduce its value as a sole criterion for distinguishing the subspecies.
