Summary

[edit]
Description

desert mariposa, Calochortus kennedyi var. kennedyi in habitat, White Mountains, Payson Canyon fan in Deep Springs Valley, elevation 1765 m (5785 ft). 2008 was one of the wettest springs in decades in this area, which is what it takes to bring out the mariposas in full glory. Though long known from the southeast margin of the White Mountains, this species was unfortunately overlooked and omitted from the Intermountain Flora series, along with another brilliantly flowered species, scarlet loco (Astragalus coccineus). Rare omissions from one of the best floras ever published.

Also visible in this diverse mixed-shrub vegetation are spiny Menodora (Menodora spinescens), Nevada Mormon tea (Ephedra nevadensis), budsage (Artemisia spinescens), hopsage (Grayia spinosa), Shockley goldenheads (Acamptopappus shockleyi, bright yellow in photo), boxthorn (Lycium andersonii), beavertail cactus (Opuntia basilaris), Mojave aster (Xylorhiza tortifolia, lavender in middle distance), pinyon rabbitbrush (Chrysothamnus viscidiflorus ssp. puberulus), Cooper goldenbush (Ericameria cooperi), bush peppercress (Lepidium fremontii), silver cholla (Cylindropuntia echinocarpa), desert paintbrush (Castilleja chromosa), Indian ricegrass (Stipa hymenoides), and more.
