direbeccaDescription
I've just added the larger (more inclusive) version of my original photo, since, as I look over our area's clover options, this one looks like Showy indian clover/Trifolium amoenum. Any feedback/help much appreciated. :)

Hundreds of clusters of fruitbodies in a 50sq meter area. Lots of woody debris, most were found growing amongst it. Very young fruitbodies of putative Lactarius alnicola found growing right next to one of the clusters. One cluster appeared to be growing from a sclerotium which is shown in 2 of the photos.

PrivateDescription
Photos from one of the few known populations of H. biflora var. ineziana. Despite poor precipitation and extremely dry conditions in the grasslands they occur in (much of the soil is already cracking), there are a considerable number of individuals that have germinated at this site. Many still in bud, but at least 1/3 have begun flowering.

Red Sand-Verbena (Abronia maritima)Observer
ericloprestiDescription
I forgot about this plant until organizing Abronia records; I meant to go back to document flowering and collect this later in the season, but moved to Michigan and never got around to it. Without flowers, this plant is a spitting image of A. maritima, but who knows what it actually is. @alysonvn ???
