Rosa stellata subsp. abyssa

A. M. Phillips

Madroño 39: 31, fig. 1. 1992.

Walter H. Lewis, Barbara Ertter, Anne Bruneau
Common names: Grand Canyon rose
Endemic
Synonyms: Rosa stellata var. abyssa (A. M. Phillips) N. H. Holmgren
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 9. Treatment on page 81. Mentioned on page 80.

Stems erect or arching, 2.5–10 (–15) dm; distal branches tomentose-woolly, with stellate hairs, stipitate-glandular; infrastipular prickles paired, stout, 10–12 × 3.5–6 mm, internodal prickles and aciculi sparse, smaller, eglandular, rarely glandular. Leaves: stipules 4–8 × 1–2 mm, margins entire, often sessile or stipitate-glandular, glands sparse to common, auricles foliaceous; petiole and rachis puberulent, sometimes glabrous; leaflets 3, terminal: petiolule 1 mm, blade obovate, margins broadly 1-crenate, teeth 4–8 per side, abaxial surfaces tomentulose or glabrous, adaxial lustrous. Flowers 5 cm diam.; hypanthium: densely setose, setae 4–6 mm; sepals 12–20 × 1–3 (–4) mm; petals dark-pink. Hips subglobose, 10–18 mm diam., densely setose.


Phenology: Flowering May–Jun.
Habitat: Canyon rims and drainages, tops of cliffs, edges of mesas or plateaus, sandy to gravelly soil with limestone chips
Elevation: 1400–2300 m
