Abstract

To provide a nomenclatural foundation for the treatment of Boechera in the soon-to-be-published Flora of New Mexico, we here discuss the current taxonomic situation in the genus, name three new species (B. austromontana, B. pseudoconsanguinea, and B. quadrangulensis), provide new combinations for B. kelseyana, B. thompsonii, and B. villosa as subspecies of B. crandallii, and propose subspecific names under B. perennans for nine taxa currently treated as species.
