Summary

Description

rock primrose, Chylismia walkeri subsp. tortilis, California, White Mountains, McAfee Creek, Fishlake Valley drainage, elevation 1657 m (5435 ft).

Yet another northern Mojave - southern Great Basin desert endemic occupying its favorite habitat - cracks and crevices in carbonate outcrops, against which the tight rosette of dark mottled leaves really stands out. As a further desert adaptation, this species is reported to self-pollinate, free from dependence on insect visitors, and from the need to spend scarce resources attracting them with bigger flowers.
