Description:
Description: The inflorescence bracts are paired, a diagnostic trait of Chorizanthe. The tubular structures are involucres, which enclose typically two flowers. The involucres have about 6 recurved (uncinate) teeth around the distal end (rim of the opening), which is distinctive to a subset of species of Chorizanthe. This species is noted for its erect to ascending growth habit and stems that disarticulate at the nodes by late summer and fall. Date: 15 June 2010, 08:23.
