Identification
Hey, Dennis; there is nothing obvious about this group. Haven't I told you that? :-) Actually, you were the one that led me onto it with your rearings from alkali goldenbush!

Hi Will, It certainly isn't A
Hi Will, It certainly isn't A. hepburnii. Is the under surface densely pubescent (almost silvery)?

Doesn't appear so... in fact
Doesn't appear so... there is a tiny amount of pubescence, it's possible it got rubbed off, though unlikely
