The office I work for (part time) put out a nice presentation on the efforts to revitalize this species. Great photos in here.

Once considered lost from New Jersey, this species has made an incredible comeback.

@bobpbx thanks for posting. You are correct, it's a great article and fascinating to read.

I thought the graphic towards the center of the article (about its colonization and migration over time based on data) was pretty cool. Consistent with the very long viability of the seed ("seed banking") which seems to be an adaptation for very harsh environments, I'm guessing it is somewhat difficult to get an accurate picture of the overall robustness of the population. I'm glad to hear of its resurgence.

Very fascinating and informative, Bob.
I wonder how Roundup would work on that weed ??
