This species is treated as Encelia nutans in Flora of North America, though maybe with some reservations. POWO has adopted that treatment also. I had been following Intermountain Flora given its geography, and hadn't even noticed the differing FNANM treatment until prompted in this observation: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/26791436

I've drafted a taxon swap to move it to Encelia:

Before committing it though, I want to see what you identifiers and observers of the species think. Are there any data or opinions on the species more recent than 2006?

I was not aware that FNA had moved Enceliopsis back to Encelia! This is one I don't run through the key since it is so distinctive. I wish the FNA treatment provided more of a rationale for lumping the two genera. The two are clearly related morphologically, though if you lump them it would make just as much sense to add Flourensia and maybe even Geraea. Molecular data from Fehlberg & Ranker (2007) in Systematic Botany suggest that Encelia, Enceliopsis, and Geraea were monophyletic. Unless there is other genetic/molecular data, seems like these genera still should be separate.

Thanks Jim

I went ahead and committed the change, since there seemed to be no specific concerns. Personally this seems like a very heterogeneous element within Encelia, and it wouldn't surprise me to see it put back with Enceliopsis in the future (if not in some other genus).
