[Wikipedia] Range, Year Described, ID Confusion: Calycadenia micrantha is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name small-flowered calycadenia. It is endemic to California, where it is known from about 13 occurrences that are widely spread over several counties, including Napa, Siskiyou, Shasta, Mendocino, Trinity, and Monterey Counties, with several populations known in Lake County.[2][3][4] It was described to science as a species in 2004.[5] Some specimens of the plant had previously been included within the description of its relative, Calycadenia truncata.[6] The fact that it has been found in relatively far-flung locations suggests it could easily be present in other areas between them and, as a newly classified species, has simply not been reported yet.
