Who’s THAT Cucumber!!!
I gave it a good 6~months of researching 🧐 but I’m pretty sure the last recorded documentation of this 🥒 species in Texas was 1922!!! UNTIL MEEE back in
January 2026.
Thanks to the amazing Cuke researchers who came through on Reddit/FB with the paper depicting the species and I found the Hubert Clark reference/noting the species in Texas once over a century ago!!! 104 years to be precise! And thank you @coastal.studieslab for sending another paper in the search for data on it!
EVERYONE MEET Isostichopus maculatus phoenius!
Peep Fig. 17/18 for reference pics of the species it was identified as! And second link is the original 1922 Clark paper reference from Texas! “Previous taxon”
