Moved to Cauchas spinulosa, n. sp.
Moved from Cauchas.

Only took 13 years. The new revision includes an image of Cauchas spinulosa on Camissoniopsis bistorta like this. The species is only found in your area.

Great,
Thanks for the update, Steve! Chris Grinter told me at the time (2010) & that Jerry Powell was aware of it as an undescribed species only known from our area.

Now, if only it were on cactus, the Seussification would be complete.

Got it, Ron -
also like the idea. The other day, we recalled taking our kids for a book signing where they met Theodore Seuss Geisel. I just learned that Bill Peet's son volunteers in one of the places where I've been working as a volunteer.
