A troublesome weed in the Mesilla Valley, growing everywhere in cultivated fields,

FOUQUIEKIACEAE. 



Fouquieria splendens Engelm. in Wisliz. Mem. North. Mex. 98. 1848. 



"Jornada del Muerto," Wislizenus in 1846. 



Doctor Wislizenus makes no mention of this remarkable plant in his journal, so that 

 we can not tell on just what part of the Jornada it was collected or first seen; but prob- 

 ably it was near the northern end of that plain. The shrub is conspicuous every- 

 where on the mesa east of the Rio Grande Valley in this locality, producing its flowers 

 in spring but not putting out its leaves until July and August after the rains.
