Warm Springs Road, at crossing with Anvil Spring Wash, Death Valley National Park (Inyo County, California, US)family
Asteraceae
notes While not showy, Logfia and other ''disciform' members of the Asteraceae have an interesting inflorescence/floral structure which is fun to study and work out under a dissecting microscope. In the full-size version of this image (see the ''high-resolution image'' Flickr link below) three mature flower heads are visible. The heads at left and center exhibit 5 reflexed paleae and a number of tiny, smooth cypselae. In the mature head at just above-right of center you can see the narrow tops of two disk flowers, surrounded by pappus bristles. A number of heads are also visible in early flower (as cream-yellow tipped, basally flaring, terminal or axillary cylindrical structures). For scale, my thumbnail in the image is 15mm long. high resolution file https://www.flickr.com/photos/17069890@N03/25387778114/sizes/o/
