In a location where O. parryi and O. borealis var. viscida also grow, during an outing with Jim Morefield and Dylan Neubauer, we encountered a quite different Oxytropis. It resembles O. campestris of which there is a collection by Glen Clifton from 1988(see other images on CalPhotos of that collection). This collection was annotated by Martin F. Wojciechowski in 2004 as 'O. campestris' and by Stanley Welsh in 2005 as 'O. campestris var. ?'. It is curious that O. campestris is not treated in TJM1 or TJM2. Perhaps because of single poor specimen. In the Dean W. Taylor Flora of The White Mountains, this collection is referenced under the name O. oreophila var. oreophila which is treated as a legitimate taxon in California. I find this plant quite interesting and hope these images will help in further inquiry. Collection made concurrently by Dylan Neubauer.

according to Intermountain Flora (Vol. 3 part B page 176) the leaflets of Oxytropis tend to be asymetrical at the base while Astragalus tends to be equilateral, despite most images of O. in IMF drawn otherwise!
