Question
I think this Hudsonia from a fire lane in the Manuel Correllus State Forest on Martha's Vineyard is H. ericoides. The pedicels are up to 6 mm long. The leaves are up to 4 mm long. Is the pubescence of the leaves abundant enough to make one consider the possibility of Hudsonia x spectabilis? Thank you.
Answer
Dear gregorypalermo, given the length of the pedicels, your plant is likely Hudsonia ericoides. The hybrid would have shorter pedicels based on the contribution from Hudsonia tomentosa.
