    Hi,

    Found these hiking in Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument. First I believe is a Jatropha species, but could be wrong. Low-growing bush. Had a tiny, creamish-colored flower.

    Second have no clue, grew to be tree-sized. Thanks!

    Figured them out:

    First plant is Jatropha cardiophylla

    Second plant is Vauquelinia californica
