Oenothera cinerea subsp. cinerea

Warren L. Wagner
Synonyms: Gaura villosa Torrey 1827 G. villosa var. arenicola Munz
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 10.

Herbs densely soft-villous, hairs mostly appressed, also strigil­lose, rarely glandular puber­ulent, branches of inflorescences glabrous or sparsely glandular puberulent. Leaves: blade nar­rowly lanceolate to very narrowly elliptic or linear, sometimes narrowly elliptic to lanceolate or narrowly oblanceolate proximally, margins subentire or shallowly sinuate-dentate, sometimes markedly so. Flowers: floral-tube 2–5 mm; petals 8.5–13 mm; style 10–19 mm. 2n = 14.


Phenology: Flowering May–Aug.
Habitat: Sandy flats and dunes on high plains and rolling plains.
Elevation: 700–1700 m.

Distribution

Colo., Kans., N.J., N.Mex., Okla., Tex.

Discussion
