Narrative
Specimens at collection site in nature measuring approximately 2.5 feet in height with significant suckering and minimal branching. Stem color (variable) at time of collection (17 May 2018) with mostly dark yellow, greenish or brownish-orange. Female catkins measuring 1.25-2.00 cm. Pubescent leaves, rounded at tips. Plants with severe dieback (e.g. 1-2' on stems), but are respouting. Unknown if dieback at collection site is due to herbicide or environmental conditions. According to local botanist and author of the Vascular Flora of Hamilton County, Iowa (Thompson 2007), Thompson indicated this was the largest population observed (Thompson pers. comm., 16 May 2018) in Hamilton County. During a growout via seed executed in 2018 at NCRPIS, a total of 64 plants generated 19 males and 45 females.
