Coordinator notes: thanks for submitting, Joe. I'm approving this for streckeri (it's also too late for yuccae, mostly). there remains the question of whether this is plains ssp. texanus or montane ssp. streckeri. Quality of the photo, the individual, and lack of upper side photo makes it impossible to tell. It matters because texanus is not reported from Sandoval county. so if you do scare up another in that area, try for an upperside photo. the site seems "plainsy" enough to expect texanus, but will need proof. thanks to you and Cliff!
