Identificaciones de brucen

100+ plants here, probably many more than I think. Growing on a dry south-facing slope and on basalt outcrops. Much of this population sits directly above a very large cliff. The entire population encompasses approximately 1/4 acre.

I found this population on Google Earth by noting the unique color the shrubs create on the hillside.

@eralverson the habitat and flora of this site is remarkably similar to the Jasper rocks. In fact, this is by far the most similar site that I have seen anywhere in the Willamette Basin. Given all the similarities, I wonder about a potential Pellaea andromedifolia population here. If it isn't here (which I expect is likely the case), then it could be an excellent spot to experiment with introducing a new population. I would have to survey the area below the cliff here more thoroughly to be sure that it does not already occur at this site, though.

~2600 ft elev. in understory of noble fir, Douglas-fir and hemlock forest. Open understory, very abundant along the roadside. Some plants collected as part of the OSU 2023 Botanical foray. Tillamook county.
