| Description |
spiny menodora, Menodora spinescens var. spinescens, California, White Mountains, Gilbert Pass, Deep Springs Valley drainage, elevation 1710 m (5615 ft). The well-protected spiny menodora is one of more than two dozen shrub species forming the mixed desert shrub vegetation zone in this area, where it occupies the transition between the Great Basin sagebrush zone and the Mojave Desert. During drought conditions all that shows is the spiny network of green stems, which continue to photosynthesize without leaves or flowers. The spination pattern and depressed habit of this species resembles two other unrelated (and much less common) shrub species of different habitats in this area: Glossopetalon spinescens (Crossosomataceae) and Polygala intermontana (Polygalaceae). Technically the spines of these species are actually thorns, being modified stem branches instead of modified leaf structures. |
