ajwrightDescription
Just a bit above this site, the plants suddenly have glaucous undersides (= R. leucodermis), with no intermediates. Unfortunately I did not see them until after I had missed the pullouts... 62689495 is from a ways higher up than the first white-underside plants.

Appears to be this species rather than S. pallidus or S. microcarpus reported for the area, but rather too wet to access.

Different from R. nigerrimus in the bottoms of the canyons by white stems, white undersides of leaves, vinier habit, and larger leaves. This patch has been hit by herbicide sprayed along the road margin.

The pupa looked familiar, but the plant (Rudbeckia occidentalis) had no feeding damage, so it might just have been a shelter even though the pupa was about a meter off the ground.
