notes Flowers and spreading/ascending siliques of Streptanthus cordatus var. piutensis, photographed in the area of the type locality...see this BHL link for the original description by John Thomas Howell, published in 1963. Bumble-bee visiting flower is likely Bombus vosnesenskii. The plants in this population keyed unambiguously to S. cordatus var. piutensis in the Jepson eFlora Key to Streptanthus, the FNA key, and Reed Rollin's 1993 'Cruciferae of Continental North America'. The diagnostic characters are: cualine leaves sessile, clasping-auriculate; racemes ebracteate and lacking a terminal 'flag' of sterile flowers; fruit glabrous; perennial; all stamens fertile; cauline leaves reduced distally; fruit spreading to ascending; stamens in 3 unequal-length pairs (not tetradynamous); basal leaves dentate; mid-cauline leaves lanceolate and acute. Another informative reference for this taxon is Greene & Sanders(2006). photo category: Plant - annual/perennial
