threetip sagebrush TAXONOMY:The fully documented scientific name of threetip sagebrush is Artemisia tripartita Rydb. (Asteraceae) [3,21,33]. Two subspecies of threetip sagebrush are currently recognized: tall threetip sagebrush (A. tripartita ssp. tripartita) and Wyoming threetip sagebrush (A. tripartita ssp. rupicola Beetle) [3,33]. According to Beetle [3], threetip sagebrush occasionally forms natural hybrids with silver sagebrush (A. cana ssp. viscidula). Hybrids with Wyoming big sagebrush (A. tridentata spp. wyomingensis) may also occur in parts of south-central and southeastern Idaho [52]. In some areas, threetip sagebrush may intergrade with low sagebrush (A. arbuscula ssp. arbuscula) [3].
