INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Aug 24, 2007
  • latitude 29.40404   longitude 107.59702     View on Google Maps.
  • location   Federal Highway MX 16, km marker 185, 6.4 miles west of junction with State Highway 37 north to Guerrero, (Mcp. Guerrero, Chihuahua, Mexico)
  • family Asteraceae
  • plant community   Pine-oak forest at 2361 m (7850')
  • notes   open roadside on coarse granitic roadbed mixed over substrate of volcanic tuff and tuffaceous rhyolite at crest of the eastern escarpment onto Madrean plateau. This species is largely distinguished with difficulty from C. pringlei by a 2 cm difference in maximum width of the flowering heads which make photo determination impossible and pressed specimen difficult, without careful in-field measurements of live mature heads. In most cases I have placed these similar plants under C. palmer, the slightly smaller and more common of the two species.
