Leptonia ‘carrot stipe’
Location: San Bruno, San Mateo County, California, USA
Collection Date: 14-Jan-11
Project #: CSALVA-10
Comments: Another Monterey Cypress associated Leptonia, this remarkable (and apparently undescribed) little species has a bright carrot-orange stipe. It appears to be very uncommon, and possibly endangered (since it is restricted to a few cypress groves in San Mateo Co. that are vulnerable to urban development). It should be searched for elsewhere in the native range of Monterey Cypress.
