Narrative
Species recently named (Floden et al. 2009) and currently endemic to only parts of Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas. Separated from the more common D. palustris by having sessile fruits, white to light tan bracts, lobed calyx and hairy leaves, and hairs on the tips of fruits. Generally restricted to dry, northeastern-facing limestone bluffs. Small (1-2 meters in height), shade tolerant shrub, exhibiting a slow growth rate with yellow flowers in early spring. Rather difficult to propagate both sexually and asexually.
