Compare the habit images below

Each column contains 8 images from herbarium specimens of the Trans-Pecos and New Mexico which have been determined at regional herbaria (i.e., SRSC, UNM, NMC). [Identification of plants with a pubescent upper leaf surface seems to reflect whether or not the key of Martin & Hutchins 1981 was used.]

To evaluate the validity of the status of column 2, please consult the habit key page.

Clicking on an image will bring a large version of the specimen.

The examples were selected for maximum similarity across the rows shown in the three columns and share the same number above the image. But since each column can be scrolled independently, this coordination may be lost lost.
