Description
Note whether the throat is open or closed. In Hairy Beardtongue, the lower lip is raised up and blocks the opening of the throat. (A bee would need to pry its way in). In Eastern Gray Beardtongue, the lower lip is down and the throat is open. (A bee could fly right in.) (J. Stasz, pers. comm.).
