Type/Tipo:

Oreocarya macounii Eastwood: John Macoun s.n., 6 July 1880: Canada, Northwest Territories. Moose Mt. (Saskatchewan, Moose Mountain Creek in protologue) (NY00335635, possibly also CAS0006980)  

NOTE: Taxonomically complex; needs further work.  Higgins (1971) stated, in reference to his study:
"The species C. bradburiana, sheldonii, macounii, and celosioides as recognized by Payson [1927] in his monograph have here been combined."
If these taxa are combined, it is clear that the name Oreocarya glomerata has priority in that genus, is in fact the type species.
