These were found in Aubrey Valley in area of fine grained reddish soil with small yucca type vegetation. Not certain that boreus is the correct species here.

Toiyabea alpinaHavainnoija

saddle between Cougar and Prospect Peaks, Jarbidge Mountains, Elko County, Nevada, United States (Google, OSM)Kuvaus
The identity of this population is tentative given that Tonestus or Haplopappus alpinus or Toiyabea alpina is supposedly known from only the Toiyabe and Toquima Ranges of central Nevada. The alpine to subalpine habitat and glandular herbage with toothed leaf margins fit the circumscription of Haplopappus alpinus. At this particular site, Haplopappus alpinus can have a mat-forming growth habit. This site lies along the saddle between Cougar and Prospect Peaks, Jarbidge Mountains, Elko County, Nevada.

Not your average xylorhiza here. Growing on gypsum, very sticky and glandular, leaves have a distinctive smell and leave a sticky fragrance on the fingers

prakritKuvaus
Albino Hadrurus arizonensis, the first record of an albino of this species (as far as I know) and one of very few albino scorpion records ever.
In this region. H. arizonensis are exclusively the normal (not pallidus) morph (last slide). Note the red eyes in this individual, also indicating albinism.
With @coreyjlange.

Porophyllum pygmaeumHavainnoija
jdmoreKuvaus
pygmy poreleaf, Porophyllum pygmaeum, Nevada, Clark County, Desert National Wildlife Range, Sheep Range watershed, elevation 1355 m (4445 ft).
These are some poor, rushed film photos of plants gathered for the type collection of this species. I first noticed this unnamed species tucked away on an herbarium sheet at Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, soon after arriving there as a graduate student. Fellow student Aaron Liston (@aaronliston), Garden employee Sara Meury, and I made a first unsuccessful attempt to relocate the species in the general area noted on the specimen in May 1987.
Visiting taxonomist Fritz Ehrendorfer and I made a second long trip for another attempt in early June. As seems to happen too often when so focused, we spent the whole day searching fruitlessly, until just before sunset and still 5 hours from home, when we finally located this large population. Thus the poor and rushed photos, restored as best I could from high resolution scans.
The species is still only known from the west base and slopes of the Sheep Range on the Desert National Wildlife Range in Clark County, Nevada.
Collection: Morefield 4511 & Ehrendorfer
