Taxonomic Comments
"The combination of wide fruits and glabrous sepals readily distinguishes Boechera carrizozoensis from other members of the fendleri group in New Mexico except for other hybrids derived from B. texana. Boechera carrizozoensis is easily distinguished from both B. texana and these hybrids (B. porphyrea, B. zephyra, B. 'FST', and B. 'CP') by the narrowly oblanceolate basal leaves with prominent marginal cilia along their entire length but surfaces that are glabrous or sparsely pubescent with simple or forked trichomes" (Alexander et al. 2015).
Ecology & Habitat

Habitat

"Found in central and southern New Mexico on rocky (usually sandstone or limestone) slopes in Chihuahuan desert scrub or at the lower extremes of pinyon-juniper woodland" (Alexander et al. 2015).
