Arabis Hirshbergiae (Brassicaceae), A Narrow Endemic From The Cuyamaca Mountains, San Diego County, California, Steve Boyd

Aliso: A Journal of Systematic and Floristic Botany

A narrow endemic from the Cuyamaca Mountains of southern California is described as a new species, Arabis hirshbergiae. Closest relationships appear to be with A. johnstonii and A. parishii, also narrow endemics from the San Jacinto and San Bernardino Mountains respectively. All three species are associated with pebble plain habitats in montane areas characterized by relatively gentle relief compared with surrounding canyons and ridge systems.
