INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  May 16, 2023
  • latitude 37.31297   longitude -118.10322     View on Google Maps.
  • location   West end of Deep Springs Valley (Inyo County, California, US)
  • family Asteraceae
  • notes   Habitus of the small shrub Acamptopappus shockleyi in full flower. Detailed descriptions and other interesting info on the two species of Acamptopappus can be found in this 1988 MadroƱo paper.

    Flowering phenology in 2023 has generally been somewhat delayed by cold temps during much of the spring, and enhanced by unusually high cumulative (& well-spaced) winter rains. For comparison, note that Steve Matson's photo here from the same general area (< 2 mi away), taken on 5/25/19, appeared well-past flowering. Steve also has nice photos showing the unusually hairy cypselae (or achenes) and somewhat flattened linear pappus.
