Summary[edit]

Description

cow cabbage, Asclepias cryptoceras, Nevada, White Mountains, Sugarloaf, Pinchot Creek - Columbus Salt Marsh drainage, elevation 2696 m (8845 ft).

If I had to pick a favorite milkweed species, this might have to be the one. Low growing but with exceptionally large and showy flowers, this species is fairly widespread at middle elevations in the interior western United States, often on harsh and relatively barren soils, such as the alkaline volcanic clays here. These plants of the western Great Basin and Columbia Plateau are sometimes separated from the more eastern plants as var. davisii.
