Type Information

- & collection: “Captain Pope collected, on the Organ mountains, specimens, without flowers or fruit, of a remarkable Rutaceous plant, which had been previously gathered there by Mr. Wright, and H. B. Gray, Esq. We have also received it from Dr. Edwards, of the United States army, who found it on the Mimbres. Dr. J. M. Bigelow and Mr. Schott were so fortunate as to detect it in fruit, while they were engaged in the Mexican boundary survey under the command of Major W. H. Emory. The former gentleman collected it, in 1852, on the Florence mountains, which, we believe, are in the southern part of New Mexico, near the Rio Grande; and Mr. Schott obtained it farther down the river.

Remarks
Some works attribute the name A. dumosum to Torrey alone. However, the article is jointly authored by Torrey and A. Gray, and the genus and species names are not ascribed to anyone. Therefore, both Torrey and A. Gray are accepted here as the authors.
