So it\u2019s extremely rare.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe very rare impoverished pinweed was collected from an ABMI sample site on the southern shores of Lake Athabasca.  It stands only five to ten centimeters tall.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nDR. TYLER COBB: <\/b><em>    It\u2019s  in the sustacea, so Its in the rock rose family.  So it\u2019s a spindly little plant.  fairly well adapted to growing in very windy, disturbed soil conditions.     It has sort of sparse hairs on the leaves.   The  flowers are very subtle and pale.  And yeah, there\u2019s really not much to say.  It\u2019s an understated beauty, I would say.   <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Tyler Cobb says the discovery of the very rare impoverished pinweed shows the benefit of programs like the Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring surveys.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><em><br \/>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02013-01-29<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time ever, the <b>impoverished pinweed <\/b>has been seen and collected in Alberta.
