INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Mar 26, 2004
  • location   Plum Canyon, Anza Borrego State Park (San Diego County, California, US)
  • family Euphorbiaceae
  • synonyms Chamaesyce melanadenia
  • notes   Habit of Chamaesyce melanadenia. It can be difficult (at least for me) to distinguish between C. melanadenia, C. albomarginata, and C. polycarpa by 'gestalt at distance'. Vestiture (i.e. 'hairiness') is a key distinguishing character used in many floras (Jepson, Munz, Abrams). In particular, C. albomarginata is glabrous, C. polycarpa can be glabrous or have short *spreading* pubescence, and C. melanadenia has longer, *appressed*, pubescence. This plant had (longish) appressed pubescence.
