DiscoveryGutierrezia elegans was discovered by Peggy Lyon, a Colorado State University botanist, and Al Schneider, an amateur botanist of the Four Corners area, August 4, 2008.[1] Lyon and Schneider found the plant while they were putting together a list of plant species in Lone Mesa State Park in Colorado. Peggy said that they would have missed noticing the plant if they were only looking for known rare plants.[2] They sent the specimen to Guy Nesom, a plant expert. Guy and other experts examined the plant and agreed that it was a previously undiscovered species of Gutierrezia. Tim Hogan, an employee of the University of Colorado Herbarium, said that the discovery shows us how little we know about biodiversity.[1]The Lone Mesa snakeweed was the sixth new plant discovered in Colorado in roughly 15 years.[2] References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://media.www.collegian.com/media/storage/paper864/news/2009/02/04/News/Csu-Botanist.Discovers.New.Plant.Species-3611876.shtml |title=CSU botanist discovers new plant species |accessdate=2009-08-23 |last= Pepperl |first=Natasha |date=2009-02-04 |work=Collegian }} 2. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://blogs.denverpost.com/eco/2009/02/02/pretty-snakeweed-discovered-in-on-a-mesa/ |title="Pretty" snakeweed discovered in on a mesa |accessdate=2009-08-23 |last=Jaffe |first=Mark |date=2009-02-02 |work=Denver Post }} {{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} External links
