extinct species

[Mark Egger]

One species on the UC list, Orthocarpus pachystachyus, was
rediscovered in the field just a few years ago. It was last seen
before this in 1913, as I recall...

Two more species to add to the list are Castilleja uliginosa (extinct
in the field but maintained in the greenhouse at UC Berkeley) and
Castilleja ludoviciana from southern Louisiana
