Description:

I have been looking in the field for this species for years. Finally finding it at a very propitious location, what I will call the amazing hanging rock canyon S-curve. More saliently are certain characters that key this to A. hutchinsifolia, primarily the glandular hairs on the tube and throat of the corolla, the abaxial surfaces. Note also on this image long glandular leaf hairs (couplet 7).
