Pink Plectritis (Plectritis congesta ssp. brachystemon)Observer
thaneprattDescription
Ran thru the Valerianaceae key in H&C2018. P. brachystemon begins blooming several week after congesta begins. The two are visually easily distinguished, and brachystemon grows much larger under optimal conditions. The flowers of brachystemon are smaller and pale pink whereas those of congesta are dark fuscha pink. There are no intermediate plants among the fields of millions of congesta. Brachystemon is much less common, but not rare and forms its own colonies amongst the sea of congesta.
