Iliamna
Iliamna comprises one widespread species of the mountainous West (I. rivularis), and seven local species (two eastern and five western) differing principally but modestly in pubescence, leaf, involucellar bractlet, and calyx characters, and exhibiting varying degrees of intergradation. All, with the exception of I. bakeri, are species of relatively mesic, open woodlands, scrub, and meadows, often along stream banks. Each of the species apparently regenerates following disturbance or fire, sometimes in dense stands.
Species 8 (8 in the flora).
