NOW FLOWERING ON A ROADWAY NEAR YOU!
Have you seen Chorispora tenella is along a roadway, parking lot, fence line, drainage ditch, flowerbed, or agricultural field? Or are you traveling to or through one of the counties highlighted below between April and June? I would love for you to collect some leaf tissue for me. I’ll send you supplies and pay for the shipping! Check out the collection protocol and let me know if you have any questions! My email address is on the collection protocol. Please let me know if you would like me to send you collection supplies (desiccant, envelopes).
Crossflower is ALL OVER THE PLACE in the US and Canada. As you can see in this state/province-level map from USDA PLANTS database. Click on the link to go to the zoomable version of the map and see if it’s been recorded from your county.
