This largely Ozarkian diploid species is not verified east of the Mississippi Rv. except in s. Ill. It has been reported from Ky. in FNA 21 and other literature, but no convincing colls. have been seen (M). R. missouriensis appears to differ from truncata mainly in its denser pubescence, relatively narrow leaves, and more ascending branches (Campbell & Seymour 2013). Plants referable to either taxon should be searched for further within intervening regions. Somewhat hairy plants from JESS (overlook near Camp Nelson) have suggested missouriensis, but now appear closer to truncata.
