TAXONOMY : 
The accepted scientific name of sticky cinquefoil is Potentilla
glandulosa Lindl.  Sticky cinquefoil is highly variable both in
morphologial characteristics and habitat affinities.  Several varieties
have been identified and many intergradations occur; authorities differ
in the treatment of these taxa.  The following varieties are currently
recognized by many taxonomists:

        P. glandulosa var. intermedia (Rydb.)C.L. Hitchc.
        P. glandulosa var. pseudorupestris (Rydb.)Breitung
        P. glandulosa var. glandulosa
        P. glandulosa var. micropetala (Rydb.)Welsh and Johnston
        P. glandulosa var. nevadensis S.Wats.
        P. glandulosa var. reflexa Greene
        P. glandulosa var. campanulata Hitchc.

The morphological characteristics of P. glauca var. intermedia and P.
glauca var.  pseudorupestris often merge, and these taxa are described
as transitional to one another [10].  Several other species of
cinquefoil, including P. arguta, P. campanulata, and P. fissa, exhibit
significant intergradation with P. glandulosa [8,10].
