- Abstract
Hackelia taylori (Boraginaceae), here named, is known from only three populations. Plants are found growing on very steep, sandy/gravelly talus slopes within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness, Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest, Washington, USA . The species differs from similar Hackelia spp. by having relatively small blue flowers (mean limb width 1.3 cm) with small fornices (mean 0.81 mm), short stature (mean 14.9 cm), short but wide lower cauline leaves (mean length 1.5 cm, width 0.7 cm), and small nutlets (mean length 2.6 mm). Additionally, H. taylori is distinguished from the most closely related H. venusta by markedly different habitats, different flower color and other morphological characters (cauline leaves, nutlet size, floral structures) which are generally smaller, and lack of seeds produced in controlled crosses.
