location
Upslope from southeast shore of Castle Lake (Siskiyou County, California, US)family
Brassicaceae
notes Inflorescences with fruit & flower. Although this inflorescence branch lacks a subtending bract, other inflorescences on the plant appeared to be bracted...so I believe this does key to (the very polymorphic!) S. tortuosus in the (very similar) Jepson eFlora and FNA treatments. Growing on a relatively open and 'slabby' rock slope lying within forested surroundings above the southeast end of Castle Lake. The geologic map here shows the location as underlain by purple coded as 'Op' = Trinity Peridotite (partially serpentinized). Upslope to the east on the map is a red area coded 'Mzg' = Mesozoic granitic rocks...which could have contributed to the surface material here via downslope erosion. Also upslope, but to the south is a blue area coded 'Ogp' = Gabbroic and dioritic rock (minor pyroxenite). photo category: Plant - annual/perennial
