Abstract:

Cover letter and draft manuscript submission provided to Dr. Justen Whittall, Editor, Madrono for “Novelties in Musineon (Apiaceae) and Orthocarpus (Orobanchaceae) in the Northern Wasatch Mountains of Utah and Idaho”. Manuscript Number: MADRONO-D-17-00006R1. <br>

Two novelties from the Bear River Range of the northern Wasatch Mountains of Utah and Idaho are described: Musineon naomiensis L. M. Shultz & F. J. Smith, sp. nov. (Apiaceae) and Orthocarpus holmgreniorum (Chuang & Heckard) L. M. Shultz & F. J. Smith, stat. nov. (Orobanchaceae). Characteristics that distinguish these species from their closest relatives are discussed. With the inclusion of these species, the Bear River Range harbors thirteen endemic plant species, most of which are restricted to dolomitic cliffs in Logan Canyon. Of the 280+ species on the Utah state list of rare plants, most occur in the warm desert portion of the state. Logan Canyon endemics enumerated here mark the Bear River Range as an unusual hotspot of rarity in Utah. <br>
