INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Jun 21, 2014
  • location   At ~8000' elevation, in the Vallecito meadow complex, Sierra San Pedro Martir (Baja California (Norte), Mexico)
  • family Brassicaceae
  • notes   The bright yellow flowers, with linear petals, of Draba demareei = D. corrugata var. demareei. Note also the abundant stellate hairs, common among many taxa in the genus.

    This was another interesting new taxon for me. It was originally described by Wiggins in 1933 as species Draba demareei, and later subsumed as a variety of D. corrugata by Hitchcock in 1941...and most recently reinstated at the species level in 2007 by Al-Shebaz & Windham (cf. last paragraph in FNA discussion Draba corrugata here). The 1993 treatment of Draba corrugata var. demareei by R. C. Rollins can be read here.

    This taxon appears to be endemic to the Sierra San Pedro Martír area, according to the 2010 checklist by Thorne, Moran, & Minnich (PDF here)...which, though published after Al-Shebaz & Windham(2007), still referred to the taxon by the varietal name. The 2016 'Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Baja California' by Rebman, Gibson & Rich also uses the varietal name, so it seems most practical to post the images here under that name.

    Note: A delightful compendium of good-natured tributes and biographical info on Dr. Delzie Demaree, for whom Wiggins named this taxon, can be read at the beginning of this volume of SIDA, which was dedicated to him and his life-long work.
