INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
|
date of photo May 17, 2003
location
Eureka Dunes (Inyo County, California, US)family
Euphorbiaceae
synonyms Chamaesyce ocellata ssp. arenicola
plant community Sand Dunesnotes This plant features the remarkable and unusual floral structure associated with the genus Chamaesyce and many other members of the family Euphorbiaceae. What appear to be 'flowers' in this photo are actually cyathia, an inflorescence type consisting of an involucre, rimmed here with four petal-like 'glands', and supporting separate male and female flowers. I've labeled the floral parts with various letters in another detail photo of this plant which I submitted here at CalPhotos. [Go to URL: http://elib.cs.berkeley.edu/cgi/img_query?where-kwid=0000+0000+0104+0550&one=T ] I hope this will clarify characters and descriptions encountered when keying Chamaesyce and other Euphorbaceae.camera Cropped detail of shot made with a Canon D60 with a 50mm Canon Compact Macro lens.
