It was called P. simpsonii var. robustior in Hitchcock, but Flora of North America treats that one as not occurring in Washington. See <http://biology.burke.washington.edu/herbarium/waflora/checklist.php?Taxon=Pediocactus%20nigrispinus> which includes references to the taxonomy. Helen, there's no way to do willows quick. They're like slow food, you have to linger over them and savor the subtle differences to fully appreciate them. But I understand what you mean.

Thank you SO MUCH! Do the willows quick while you are still young! And GOOD LUCK. Don Knoke does all the specimen displays for our Audubon Wenas Campout on Memorial Day weekend. He is tireless and expert. Thanks again, Helen Mark:
