Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
This flower could be a cross, i.e, a hybrid, between two species, with its basal leaves usually—with an emphasis on “usually”— having three terminal lobes (the “teeth” of “tridenticulata”) and the plant having a hairy, cobwebby appearance overall (more like the P. neomexicana species). I’m going for P. tridenticulata on this one.
