Wow, you guys are so good at this. Even Mary Sue was able to guess its putative genus and family just from the photos. Thanks so much. Alberto Castillo tells me that apparently it was thought to be long lost. Alan Meerow said "some (most?) lump with Bessera. Chris Pires at U of Missouri (works on Themidaceae) appears to treat it as a Bessera". He also sent me a Mexican journal article from 2004 where it was neotypified since the type specimen had been lost. (You can find a PDF file of it in Spanish at http://www.ecologia.edu.mx/ publicaciones/ABM.CONTENIDOS.2004.a.htm entitled "Neotipificación de Behria tenuiflora" of issue Num. 67 of 2004.) --Lee Poulsen Pasadena, California, USA, USDA Zone 10a On Nov 22, 2006, at 8:30 AM, Diana Chapman wrote: > It is probably Behria tenuiflora, known only from Baja and closely > related > to Bessera (it may now be included in Bessera).
