We performed several sowings under controlled conditions and achieved germinability, t50 and the time to germinate. \u0000Results: Seeds were non-dormant, neutral photoblastic and did not lose viability after two years of dry storage.

A small population of a unique looking taxon was found on the Pacific coast of the Baja California peninsula, which is here presented as a new species. \u0000Question and/or Hypothesis: In the morphological analysis in the individuals of a putative new taxon, some peculiarities stand out, such as a suffruticose herbaceous perennial growth form with erect and compact branching, featuring a small cushion, unlike the rest of the known species, which are rather procumbent, or erect in form. It also has revolute leaf margins in the blade. \u0000Studied Species: Nama asuncionensis sp. nov.
