Streptanthus tortuosus subsp. truei is described, and its distinguishing characters from subsp. tortuoSUS and other infraspecific taxa synonymized are discussed. The novelty is easily distinguished from other plants of the species by having caudate-acuminate (vs. obtuse to subacute) sepals distinctly longer (vs. shorter) than the petals and acuminate (vs. acute to obtuse or rounded) cauline leaves. Limits of the genus Streptanthus and S. tortuosus are discussed.
