A Flora of Southern Utah

At Rural Ways we are currently working on a new publication called "Plants of Southern Utah, Research Guide." The lead author is Ms. Ellen D, and each entry comes with a sample of the actual plant for comparison to any specimen you might find in the field. Yesterday, we discovered the small yellow flowers of a blooming Oregon grape, as well as some kind of white-ish monkeyflower. The entry in the picture (at left) is from a Symphoricarpus oreophilus wearing its fall colors. At least, we think its a Symphoricarpus, but we're not really sure. Any future purchasers of the volume should be aware that the identifications are not considered authoritative.
