Number 1 photo is some unidentified little members of (I think) the Lamiaceae, which were growing in the semidesert around a gigantic old tree. Number 2 is I believe a Yarrow (Achillea spp.) but I'd like some comfirmation please? Number 3 reminds me of Ipomoea, but I am not sure if there's a salt-tolerant species: this was growing just above the high-tide line on the beach. Number 4 is obviously something from the Mimosa tribe of the Fabeaceae, but what? Thanks, folkies!
#1 Eremalche exilis or related sp? http://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi/i...rel-taxon=equals&where-taxon=Eremalche+exilis #2 Tagetes minuta? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Tagetes_minuta00.jpg HTH chris
Sure looks like it for #1 - interesting. The leaf arrangement and the hirstuteness made me think of Mints before Mallows.... Could be Tagetes for #2, but when I crushed the leaves it really smelled like Yarrow.
The arrangement and type of floral parts should always take precedent over leaves or other characteristics. Regards Chris
