| Conophilos Mexicana |
Who says surfing around on the web is a waste of time.
(besides me) I was visiting one of my
photo sites reading about different techniques and guess what? I saw a plant that looks very close to the
one I shot in my June 2 posting. The
plant is a Conopholis alpine Liebman var.
Mexicana, it’s also known as Squwaroot or Mexican cancer-root. Basically it’s a parasite which lives on the
roots of oak trees. Go to Vascular
Plants of the Gila Wilderness-- Conopholis alpina var. mexicana for photos
and a brief description.
Now I will be able to sleep tonight.
Thank you for stopping by,
Mark
