About Camissonia strigulosa (Fisch. & C.A.Mey.) P.H.Raven

Camissonia strigulosa is an annual herb. It produces a tough, slender, hairy stem that can grow upright or trail across sand. The stem reaches a maximum length of close to 50 centimeters. Small, thin linear leaves, colored green to red, grow along the stem; these leaves have tiny bumpy teeth along their edges. Its flowers have four yellow petals, each a few millimeters long, and the petals may bear red spots near their bases. The fruit is a long, very thin pod-shaped capsule that holds tiny seeds.
