Around 5pm today in the middle of the road. Large 3ft or more snake. Hisisng, loud, almost like a rattle noise. But no tail rattle. Defensive while I kept distance. Aggressive. Never took its eyes off me. Opened mouth often. No teeth. Black eyes. Black tongue. Large center. Moments prior a large barred owl flew past my windshield and watched me as I approached snake. An epic moment in my day. I was going to pick up my son who was with a native medicine woman.

Description

I've never seen a tree that was identified as Betula x utahensis. I've read that it has characteristics of B. papyrifera and B. occidentalis. When I first saw this tree at a distance, I assumed it was B. occidentalis, and many characteristics seemed right for that species. When I examined it more closely, I found things that didn't fit. The leaf was not broadly ovate and had more veins pairs than expected. The bud was very pointed. The glands on the twigs were less abundant than I expected. All of these are more like B. papyrifera, so I wonder if it could be Betula x utahensis.

Description

Growing with P. gastonyi, but less common.

Most easily distinguished from P. gastonyi at first glance by flatter overall growth form, growing close to the rocks rather than outward from them.

Leaflets also sitting flat in plane & proportionally a little wider, all combining to give more flat and green appearance. Total frond length always relatively small. More often growing in crevices and overhangs, as compared to small ledges with P. gastonyi, although both could overlap.

Stems with a few long hairs (less than gastonyi, although not a clean distinction), but underside of leaflets hairless.

The two differences that I found most consistent were:

1) The base of leaflets taper gradually to a green triangular point where attaching to the central stem (with a small transition to a dark stem), as opposed to the leaflets having a concave heart-shaped base with a distinct dark stem attached at the middle.

2) The presence of a notch creating a small lobe near the base of some of the leaflets (often the lower ones and/or terminal segment).
