    Hopefully contains some psychedelics. Make someone eat it.

    Your supervisor??? Can't they go out and find their own new plant?

    Ps: congrats; that is very exciting.

    It is bad form to name a new plant after yourself :)

    If he finds a new plant then he will name it after me!

    Thank you Heather :)

    A team of people at Oregon State University are looking at it now and trying to determine if it is a variation or a new species. I am literally on the edge of my seat!

    At this point I am sure no one cares... but so far it is not a new species. It has officially been deemed to be a species that was thought to be endemic to one watershed in northern Oregon but I extended its range by over 300 miles, so that is still exciting to me.

    Even if it is not a new species I am sure finding it where it was not recorded as growing must still be exciting. :)

    Yeah...I think this is very exciting news! I'm also interested in knowing what class or species (or whatever is correct) it is.
