Cymopterus reminds me of Shirley. She would call me when she found the first one. So I just searched the Atlas maps and we should have it here in Gillespie Co. then checked iNat for observations, but nearest was between Johnson City & Austin. What a wonderful thing it would be if I did find it around here. Wish I could get one to start in my yard. If anyone collects seed, let me know.
Yes that is another Shirley special! Good luck hunting!
