Collection Notes: Coordinated from Google Earth. Fortunately this is the only scabiosa we saw in this area, though there are reports of more in other parts of Norbuck park, and this is an area where Dallas Parks dept. mows - surely what's spreading this species. Only 3 plants found - and eradicated (pulled) - at the site.
