E-mail| TOUR DETAILS | Bloom time: May-August; Listed in James’ diary is a grass “having spikelets involucured with a tuft of down” (qtd. 206). Torrey described this species under the name Pleuraphis Jamesii. The herbarium sheet (NYBG) lists a vague location: “On the high plains of the Trap Formation at the sources of the Canadian River” (qtd. 206). Authors Goodman and Lawson speculate that it was collected in present-day Otero County, several miles southeast of where the party crossed Timpas Creek (206). |
