Narrative
New Jepson Manual taxon nomenclature is Taraxia ovata, suncups. This plant was interesting to collect because the ovaries are below the soil surface. A knife was used to cut below soil surface and shear dihiscent fruit capsules off above where the taproot begins. It was important to not cut too deep and nick the taproots. We collected the fruits once the top growth leaves were dried. We scraped off these dried leaves, and in doing so, we saw a small divot. We used a knife and gently cut a pad of soil only about .25 to .75 inches deep. This revealed the fruit capsules. We found that by June 27, 2019 most of the capsules had dispersed seed. Ants were observed within field yet no notable ant seed distribution was observed.
