| "Mexican Hyssop" Labiatae (Lamiaceae)) | Santa Cruz County | 40 seeds |

| scree slopes and is one of the most unique and beautiful of all the columbines. | ||
| Aquilegia triternata | Arizona Mountain Wildflower | Red |
| "Chiricahua Mountain Columbine" | Pima County | 40 seeds |

| than the Chiricahua Mountains, in one form or another, and even over a wide elevation range | ||
| from 4000 to 10,000 feet. The numerous red flowers with tinges of yellow and picturesque | ||
| leaves, however, make it attractive in any of its various forms. | ||

| Arbutus xalapensis | New Mexico Mountain Tree | Pink |
| "Texas Madrone" Eddy County (numerous seeds per berry) 15 berries | ||
