COLORADO STATE BOTANIST DISCOVERS NEW PLANT IN SOUTHWESTERN COLORADO

FORT COLLINS - The flora of North America has a new member. A new plant 
species has been discovered in the Lone Mesa State Park in southwest 
Colorado by a Colorado State University botanist.

Peggy Lyon, botanist with CSU's Colorado Natural Heritage program, and Al 
Schneider, a volunteer from the Colorado Native Plant Society, were 
compiling a list of plant species for Lone Mesa State Park when they 
noticed a small shrub that did not look like anything that they had ever 
seen before.
