Summary

[edit]
Description

limestone primrose, Oenothera cespitosa subsp. crinita, California, White Mountains, McAfee Creek, Fishlake Valley drainage, elevation 1684 m (5525 ft).

This subspecies is found mostly in the southern Great Basin desert and northern Mojave Desert of Nevada, Utah, and eastern California, at a wide range of elevations below 3400 meters (11000 feet), with the controlling factor usually being carbonate-derived soils, including at this location. Compared with the more common subspecies marginata (which also occurs in this area), plants of subsp. crinita tend to be more densely short-hairy, to average shorter leaves, flowers, petals, and fruits, and the flowers to fade to a darker rose-purple color.
