A portion of an inflorescence near Dripping Springs, 7/31/05. The plants are dioecious, but unfortunately I couldn't get a close enough look at these to tell if they are pistillate or staminate flowers.



Plant habit after a controlled burn in lower Ice Canyon on the west side of the Organ Mountains, 3 May 2008.
