Narrative
Very localized populations noted only on extreme cliff edges of highest elevations. Rhizomatous shrubs noted in nature consisting of multiple ramets (e.g. 10-20 per genet) measuring between 3-8' in height. Very "stacked" flowers on infloresecence. Specimens in peak flower on 3 May (2023) at collection site in nature. Leaves rather pubescent with slight "fold" to leaves. Stem colors ranged from grey to orange-red. This is the same area as Thomas S. Cooperrider voucher (#3972 - KE0016911) collected on 1 June 1957, recorded as A. sanguinea. Accession collected as suckers where each sample is assumed to be a different genotype.As of 2023, the current Iowa Department of Natural Resources list of Endangered, Threatened, and Special Concern species currently has Amelanchier humilis in Iowa listed as 'no status'. Initiated in 2021, an endangered plant scientific advisory group was assembled to review floristic surveys and herbarium specimens and through group discussion update or assign a recommended status for nearly 400 rare plant species. The current (2024) recommended status of Amelanchier humilis for Iowa is Threatened. Ames 36131 has inflorescences that average 11 flowers per inflorescence with white petals (6 per flower) with pubescent sepals and pubescent ovary summits. Average diameter of flowers is 22-23 mm.
