Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Collected by Holubec, who based on his bryoides collections has exquisite taste in Drabas; he collected these from limestone crevices in the Sierra Nevada at 1900m. A long time favorite of mine, the rosettes of long leaves are quite distinct although in this form they are broader than most forms I have grown in the past, flowers are bright yellow on 3-5cm stems, this is one of most elegant of the non fuzz ball Drabas.
