I just uncovered my original field images of the single plant I found which provided the first documentation of this species on the Refuge. These are 300 dpi scans of the original APS photo prints. The first image is heavily cropped from the original (2nd). The single plant was found growing at the edge of a clump of Seep Muhly (M. reverchonii) on a Glen Rose slope.
This "population" and some additional plants were rediscovered in March 2019:

p.s. I still have dozens of prints and hundreds of slide images from my time at the Refuge (1995-2010) to sort through and upload. There's no telling what other interesting records I may have documented!

Texas Fescue (Festuca versuta)Observer

Thin, wispy grasses are really hard to document well without a backdrop or other device to help the plant stand out in a photo.
