sheriff_woody_pctDescription
Doesn't key out in the Intermountain Flora. The included stamens would seem to rule out Phacelia crenulata and its varieties.

leefDescription
Rhamnaceae? [Nope! But "false buckthorn" being a common name for Sideroxylon lanuginosum indicates I'm not the first to be fooled].

danbeckmanDescription
Probably T. nepetifolia? But I've never seen a Tragia with such a strongly vining habit so it stood out.

I check in on these guys when in town. Fruits are developing. I was by two weeks previous. Did it flower and fruit in two weeks? Or was flowering three or more weeks ago?

Arizona Lipfern (Gaga arizonica)Observer
danielmcnairDescription
A single cluster located in the Patagonia Mountains, Arizona, within the Coronado Nation Forest at approximately approximately 1750 meters above sea level. I have obscured the exact date and location to protect this very small population from poaching. The holotype of this species can be viewed here: https://collections.nmnh.si.edu/search/botany/?ark=ark:/65665/39475821e0be04a2192ff06d0a6dc2be7

Boxthorns (Genus Lycium)Observer
danbeckmanDescription
The cone-like buds look like Forestiera. F. shrevei would be the logical choice based on range, but the leaves don't look pubescent at all. F. angustifolia is worth considering (similar leaf shape, glabrous) but would seem to be a rather large range extension. Worth a closer look.
