| Description |
Nevada greasebush, Glossopetalon spinescens var. aridum, California, White Mountains, Deep Springs Valley drainage, elevation 2021 m (6630 ft). This common but inconspicuous desert shrub likes rocky soils and outcrops, with a strong preference for carbonate rocks, at elevations up to at least 2700 meters (9000 feet). The variety here, called Nevada greasebush, occurs from the Mojave Desert and adjacent mountains, northward east of the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges to southeastern Washington. Except when it is flowering, it resembles several other spiny desert shrub species with green, often nearly leafless stems, such as spiny menodora (Menodora spinescens), that grow in the same regions. But the details of the flowers and fruit confirm its membership in the small Crabapple Bush Family (Crossosomataceae), which is found only in southwestern North America. |
