Argemone Pinnatisecta
''Argemone pinnatisecta'', known as the Sacramento prickly poppy, is an angiosperm and part of the poppy family. A very thorny looking perennial that grows up to a meter and a half in height. The thorny stems are covered in bluish green serrated leaves with spiky tips. The flower buds are also covered in these sharp thin thorns until they open, between May and August, revealing six white petals up to four centimeters long and nine centimeters wide, and a bright yellow anther with various stamens jetting out. The fruits of plant contain black seeds about two millimeters in diameter. Distribution ''Argemone pinnatisecta'' only occurs in Otero County, New Mexico.

Argemone Ochroleuca
''Argemone ochroleuca'' is a species of prickly poppy, a flowering plant commonly known as pale Mexican prickly poppy or Mexican poppy. It is native to Mexico and is also an introduced weed in many temperate and tropical regions of the world. It can grow up to in height and has a sticky yellow sap. As an introduced species It can be found as an introduced species in Western Australia, New Zealand, the Arabian Peninsula, Iran, the Indian subcontinent, South Africa, and Arizona in the southwestern United States. It has become invasive in Australia, Africa, tropical Asia, New Zealand and a number of oceanic islands. Since ''Argemone ochroleuca'' produces a large number of seeds, it can accidentally be introduced into new areas as a seed contaminant. It is often a problem in agricultural land, but also has the potential to outcompete native species and decrease biodiversity Biodiversity or biological diversity is the variety and variability of life on Earth. Biodiversity is a ...

Argemone Munita
''Argemone munita'' is a species of prickly poppy known by the common names flatbud prickly poppy and chicalote. "Munita" means "armed", in reference to the many long prickles.

Asa Gray
Asa Gray (November 18, 1810 – January 30, 1888) is considered the most important American botanist of the 19th century. His ''Darwiniana'' was considered an important explanation of how religion and science were not necessarily mutually exclusive. Gray was adamant that a genetic connection must exist between all members of a species. He was also strongly opposed to the ideas of hybridization within one generation and special creation in the sense of its not allowing for evolution. He was a strong supporter of Darwin, although Gray's theistic evolution was guided by a Creator. As a professor of botany at Harvard University for several decades, Gray regularly visited, and corresponded with, many of the leading natural scientists of the era, including Charles Darwin, who held great regard for him. Gray made several trips to Europe to collaborate with leading European scientists of the era, as well as trips to the southern and western United States. He also built an extensive ne ...
