Duane Atwood April 1987

            I'm not sure who took this picture (source: from Duane Atwood's keynote address presentation at the March 2008 Utah Native Plant Society - UNPS - rare plant meeting).  Almost sitting right behind the sign is long-time UNPS board member Dave Wallace.    Duane Atwood is standing at left.  This was one of many attempts to help protect the habitat of the endangered Dwarf Bearclaw Poppy* (Arctomecon humilis).

Dr. Atwood was a fierce advocate for this species. He was in general an indefatigable protector of rare plant species in Utah, regardless of where they occurred (he was working for the Forest Service at this time but these are BLM lands).

(*Also known as Low bearclaw poppy,  Low bear-poppy, and Dwarf bear poppy. As I have noted elsewhere, Low bear-poppy is technically the most accurate Latin translation of its name since Arctomecon  translates to "Bear poppy" and humilis means "low" and not dwarf. There is no "claw" in its scientific name; its leaves though do resemble bear paws/claws.)

April 1987, Washington County, Utah, probably at the Red Bluff ACEC (area of critical environment concern, a BLM designation).
