In a new blog article, I've elaborated on that with observations on the ecology of D. hendersonii, a complete history of the current nomenclature of the species, and characteristics which separate it from the genus Primula. Pollination ecology is a major factor:<br><br>"Dodecatheon is monomorphic, having one floral form, unlike most species of Primula, yet is specialized for sonication, or buzz-pollination."<br><br>Full article here:<br><br>http://www.amateuranthecologist.com/2016/04/dodecatheon-hendersonii.html<br><br>Travis Owen<br>Rogue River, OR<br><br>www.amateuranthecologist.com<br>www.pacificbulbsociety.org<br><br></div></div></body></html>
