Abstract

Previously, we reported Cylindropuntia whipplei from as far south as ‘the Gila’, along Bear Creek, approximately 8 km east of the town of Gila, New Mexico. We also reported on three herbarium specimens labeled C. whipplei from farther south in New Mexico. Here we show (1) that those three specimens are not C. whipplei, (2) provide a review of specimens from southern Arizona showing that the New Mexico plant along Bear Creek currently seems to be at the southern range limit, (3) include photos of yellow to greenish-yellow flowers of the specimen along Bear Creek, and (4) provide a short update regarding herbarium specimens of C. whipplei from Bear Creek.
