A striking low perennial of 

 desert regions with rush- 

 like spreading branches 

 and medium-sized, rose- 

 colored flowers at the 

 summits of the branch- 

 lets. Perhaps enters Cali- 

 fornia from the eastern 

 desert region where it is 

 frequent. Probably pois- 

 onous and should be in- 

 vestigated. Weedy ten- 

 dencies. 



Spiny and with a tuft of 

 wool at the base of the 

 stem. Gravelly hills or 

 sand, Inyo County and 

 Mono Lake region. 



Mohave and Colorado des- 

 erts, Inyo County. 



Tall, leafy stemmed annual 

 or biennial with all parts 

 containing a bitter milky 

 juice. Leaves act as sun 

 dials. Open clusters of 

 yellow flowers. All too 

 abundant over the State 

 in waste places, meadows 

 and grain fields. Difficult 

 to eradicate. Introduced 

 from Europe. Stock eat 

 it readily, but it is not 

 good for milch cows. 



Sometimes found escaped. 

 Has the midrib of the 

 leaves smooth on the back 

 while 1126 has a row of 

 soft prickles. 



Bad weed. Grain fields. Si- 

 erra Valley, otherwise 

 rare.
