NEED IN SITU PHOTOS. Hobey Dixon reports Reseda odorata as an escaped cultivar on the valley floor (2012, p. 130), and the 1984 voucher records "Hot Springs," with coordinates to the Valley Hot Springs. Reseda odorata was cultivated at times in the Valley for its sweet perfumy scent. It's doubtful that the plant, once escaped, persisted. The only USA records shown in BONAP are more temperate locations in southern California and the East Coast.
