Morphological variation in rosette-forming plants (Hesperoyucca, Asparagaceae) along a latitudinal gradient of dry environments in the Baja California Peninsula.

Abstract excerpt

Morphological variation provides plants the potential to respond to heterogeneous environmental pressures. Species with restricted distributions in dry habitats are particularly interesting because small-scale environmental gradients may influence trait variation. We evaluated morphological variation in two rosette-forming Hesperoyucca species, H. whipplei and H. peninsularis, across a latitudinal gradient in the...
