Desert Hairy Scorpion (Hadrurus arizonensis)Observer
prakritDescription
Albino Hadrurus arizonensis, the first record of an albino of this species (as far as I know) and one of very few albino scorpion records ever.
In this region. H. arizonensis are exclusively the normal (not pallidus) morph (last slide). Note the red eyes in this individual, also indicating albinism.
With @coreyjlange.

These were found in Aubrey Valley in area of fine grained reddish soil with small yucca type vegetation. Not certain that boreus is the correct species here.

Pygmy Poreleaf (Porophyllum pygmaeum)Observer
jdmoreDescription
pygmy poreleaf, Porophyllum pygmaeum, Nevada, Clark County, Desert National Wildlife Range, Sheep Range watershed, elevation 1355 m (4445 ft).
These are some poor, rushed film photos of plants gathered for the type collection of this species. I first noticed this unnamed species tucked away on an herbarium sheet at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, soon after arriving there as a graduate student. Fellow student Aaron Liston (@aaronliston), Garden employee Sara Meury, and I made a first unsuccessful attempt to relocate the species in the general area noted on the specimen in May 1987.
Visiting taxonomist Fritz Ehrendorfer and I made a second long trip for another attempt in early June. As seems to happen too often when so focused, we spent the whole day searching fruitlessly, until just before sunset and still 5 hours from home, when we finally located this large population. Thus the poor and rushed photos, restored as best I could from high resolution scans.
The species is still only known from the west base and slopes of the Sheep Range on the Desert National Wildlife Range in Clark County, Nevada.
Collection: Morefield 4511 & Ehrendorfer
