Oenothera neomexicana grows with a stem to about 50cm tall. The fruit is an upright, slightly curved and rather
elongate capsule. The stigma has 4 lobes and is longer than the stamens. The four petals are white. The leaves
are several centimeters long and curving to toothed. We found Oenothera neomexicana at middle elevation in mixed conifer forest
alongside a seasonal creekbed.
