The leaf margins are entire and revolute.

In Weber & Wittmann (2012) and Ackerfield (2015) this collection will key to Artemisia ludoviciana Nutt. var. ludoviciana, because of the entire leaves. However, in FNANM, revolute margins lead one away from subsp. ludoviciana, perhaps in the direction of subsp. mexicana (Willdenow ex Sprengel) D. D. Keck. Most of the collections of A. ludoviciana Nutt. in Jefferson County, Colorado, are undetermined as to infraspecific taxa, and considerable variation in leaf margins and lobes can be seen in the specimens.

Frequency and depth of leaf lobing distinguishes between ssp. ludoviciana and ssp. incompta. These leaves are neither 2°-divided, nor deeper than ⅓-width, nor divided nearly to the mid-rib. Therefore, ssp. ludoviciana is applied rather than ssp. incompta.

Coll. No. 122, 29 April 1997, characters observed while keying: Annual, tap-rooted, to 15 cm.; Stems, leaves, and phyllaries all wooly; Leaves, alternate, not decurrent, 1°(2°) pinnate lobed; Inflorescence, none of the flowers with strap-shaped corollas, flowers of 1 kind, heads discoid, peduncled, cylindric to obconic; Phyllaries, in 2 series, ±equal (outer ≤ inner), ≤7 mm., green, margins not scarious; Receptacle, epaleate; Pappus, of well-developed flat scales, #4, ≤3 mm.; Corollas, yellow, open during day.

This keyed out fairly easily to Chaenactis glabriuscula var. glabriuscula by way of TJM2 Asteraceae Group 7. However, the location of this collection is way out of range for that taxon. There is one other collection of this taxon from the eastern Mojave (H. S. Reed, s.n., May 5, 1935, Wheaton Springs, UC914160) for which the determination or location has been questioned. If the corolla color is described as “… rarely pale yellow …” then the Chaenactis key takes one to a determination of “Chaenactis hybrid.” However, the yellow color of the corolla looks strong to me, which pretty much forces one into Chaenactis glabriuscula.

No. 207, 2 April 2000, characters observed: Perennial, herb, to 30 cm.; Leaves, alternate, some in clusters, linear, 20 mm. × 1 mm. wide, glandular-sticky, regularly spaced resin pits; Inflorescence, some flowers with strap-shaped corollas, head composed of two kinds of flowers; Receptacle, epaleate; Phyllaries, in 5 not-fully-overlapping series, graduated in size, 6-11 mm. × 1.5-2.5 mm. wide, mid phyllary vein prominent throughout length though not raised, margin fringed; Rays, 7, yellow, 22-23 mm. × 5 mm. wide, 0-2 appendages to 14 mm.; Disk flowers, ±20; Pappus of well-developed bristles on both ray and disk flowers, ± cylindric; Pistil, style 8 mm. + stigma 1.5 mm. + appendages 1.0 mm.; Fruit, dense silky hairy. This collection is determined as Ericameria linearifolia, although it does not key there, primarily because the phyllaries are definitely not equal, whereas E. linearifolia requires phyllaries that are ±equal.

Coll. No. 1581, 18 April 2017, characters observed: Low-growing perennial subshrub, to 15 cm., woody at base; Twigs, green-striate, glandular-punctate, becoming white-scaly with age; Leaves, alternate, subsessile, 20 mm. × 2 mm. wide, margins rolled, glandular punctate, few white hairs, becoming white-scaly in age; Inflorescence, heads borne singly; Involucre, 10 mm. × 15 mm wide; Phyllaries, 2+ series, graduated, 6-10 mm. × 1.5-1.8 mm wide, base thick, center green, mid-vein prominent, short-stalked glandular, margin variously chartaceous entire to irregularly small-toothed; Receptacle, epaleate; Pappus, 1 series of bristles, 6 mm.; Rays, fertile, #6-8, tube 5 mm. + blade 12 mm. × 3.6 mm. wide, yellow; Disc flowers, #18-20, yellow; Style, stigma 0.7 mm., appendage 1.0 mm.; Cypsela, 4 mm., hairy. The phyllaries of this collection vary from the Jepson (2012) key and description by virtue of being graduated in size and much variation in the phyllary margins. I don't see any reason to think this might be a hybrid with E. cooperi.

The three things to see here are:

1. The fruit is hairy, which eliminates var. leiosperma.
2. The style appendages < stigma, which eliminates var. speciosa and others.
3. The corolla lobes are large (2 mm.) which eliminates var. hololeuca.
