Does anyone here have a copy of this book? It was published back in 2018 and it’s actually on sale on the publisher’s website right now, and while I’d love to just pick up a copy, I’m kind of broke and there’s literally only one thing in it I want to check lol. POWO cites this text as the authority for recognizing Symphoricarpos oreophilus at the species level and I’m curious to see what the treatment is vs Symphoricarpos rotundifolius. Just to be clear I’m not asking for a PDF copy of the book or anything, just a description of how the text differentiates between the two species
Looking for a copy of Flowering Plants of Trans-Pecos Texas and Adjacent Areas for a quick reference
Here’s the book on the publisher’s website. $40 isn’t super steep, and if I was planning on an extended visit to west Texas any time soon I’d consider it, but I can’t really justify it right now lol
I don’t have a copy but Nathan might.
You could try the library. That’d be free :) They do interlibrary loans if they haven’t got it, though that might cost you a small amount.
No luck through either my public library system or my university’s library. I was considering an interlibrary loan but I’m under the impression those take some time, and again I’m just looking for a single page. Though that will probably be what I end up doing
I have this volume at my elbow. I’ll look up your question and reply with a PM.
“Twigs and leaves glabrous (leaves rarely with a few scattered hairs); corollas slightly hairy to glabrous inside…S. oreophilus”
“Twigs and leaves pubescent, sparsely, moderately or rather densely so; corollas densely hairy inside…(3)” → S. palmeri and S. rotundifolius.
The author’s note that “Allred (2005) noted vegetative integration between S. oreophilus, S. palmeri, and S. rotundifolius in New Mexico…”.
If you know what page you want, the interlibrary loans at the university might be able to get just a scan of that sent… worth a go next time anyway :)
