Apparently this salamander is endangered. Unfortunately this one lost the battle to this American Bitten. Thought it might be useful information to someone.

geographerdaveDescription
Two species - for comparison of leaves. R menziesii is on right center - dull leaves. with midvein prominently protruding from tip. R albiflorum on left center, with shiny leaves, hairs brownish/reddish, and a few leaves do have midvein protruding (unfortunately not too clearly). The plant behind the R menziesii leaves is R albiflorum which shows an infection of Exobasidium burtii on the leaves.
Making two observations to show leaf differences.
