Much of the variation in hexaploid Atriplex tridentata appears to have come from tetraploid A. canescens by introgression. Among the recombinations, three types appear to have become established as new, adaptive, hexaploid derivatives. One of these is a robust, woody form near Knolls, Utah, another is a widespread, low‐growing, shrubby form in Lander County, Nevada, the other is an upright bushy, canescens ‐like form near Grantsville, Utah.
