Meet #Packera franciscana, Arizona’s own #endemicSpecies of the alpine tundra, known as San Francisco Peaks groundsel (#Asteraceae). Growing only on the Peaks, these little plants are primary successional species, inhabiting cracks and fissures on the talus slopes overlooking northern AZ. On that cold, windy morning in late September, I was excited to see fruits and a flowering head on the plants while mapping populations near Arizona Snowbowl’s ski lift on Agassiz Peak. Their habitat is sensitive to disturbance like trail construction, trampling, Snowbowl expansion and the effects of #ClimateChange. The Peaks groundsel was listed as threatened in 1983. #StayOnTheTrail #rareplants #arizona #hikeaz  #alpinetundra #nativeplants #botanize #botany #plants #nature #naturephotography #natureishappiness #mountain #smallthings #conservation (at Arizona Snowbowl)

The odd fruit out: siliques of Pennellia longifolia, known by the delightfully silly name of longleaf mock thelypody. Sounds like the name of a character in a fantasy novel! Curious to know what thelypody means, I found that “thely” denotes femaleness, while [I should have known] “pod” pertains to the foot. According to Michael L. Charters at calflora.net, this refers to “the presence of the stipe or stalk above the receptacle (ref. genus Thelypodium).” Help me fellow plant nerds: am I the only one for whom that makes no sense? #PennelliaLongifolia #Brassicaceae #thelypody #mustards #arizona #ponderosapineforest #nativeplants #botanize #botany #plants #nature #naturephotography #plantstagram #natureishappiness (at Arizona)

Brimming Bouteloua gracilis! We've got a lot of blue grama in the yard, which means our little fluffy friends 🐶🐱 bring in a lot of spikelets this time of year. #Poaceae #bouteloua #boutelouagracilis #bluegrama #grass #arizona #ponderosapineforest #nativeplants #botanize #botany #plants #nature #naturephotography #plantstagram #natureishappiness (at Arizona)

From rosette to dehiscence, mustards are so often aesthetically pleasing. These cuties are Draba helleriana, Heller’s draba, growing on the talus slopes of the San Francisco Peaks. #Brassicaceae #Draba #mustard #StayOnTheTrail #arizona #SanFranciscoPeaks #hikeaz #alpinetundra #nativeplants #botanize #botany #plants #nature #naturephotography #natureishappiness #mountain #smallthings (at Arizona)

Fly on Ageratina herbacea flowers, known as fragrant snakeroot. The plant can be made into a cold infusion or lotion for fever, headache, or cold. Herbacea means herbaceous, while the genus Ageratina is the diminutive of Ageratum, from the Greek for “not growing old.” #AgeratinaHerbacea #snakeroot #Asteraceae #ethnobotany #etymology #arizona #ponderosapineforest #nativeplants #botanize #botany #plants #nature #naturephotography #plantstagram #natureishappiness (at Arizona)
