Hartman RL. 2000. A New Species of Cymopterus (Apiaceae) from the Rocky Mountain Region, U.S.A.. Brittonia. 52(2):136-141
Cymopterus constancei is described as new from mostly western portions of Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico and from eastern Utah and Arizona. It has been confused with C. bulbosus A. Nelson but differs in several features of its bractlets, phenology, and habitat. The novelty is among the earliest of the native flora to bloom and is quite uniform morphologically. The number of collections encountered exceeds 200, a fourfold increase in the past 22 years. This paper describes Cymopterus constancei, a new species that is known from FOBU.
