Title <em>Pholisma sonorae</em> Author Sherwin Carlquist Santa Barbara California USA Keywords Pholisma sonorae Description Pholisma sonorae A view of an inflorescence of Pholisma sonorae from the side. Notice that the hairs of the inflorescence, from which the flowers emerge, are the same tan color as the sand in which Pholisma sonorae grows. This color may prevent Pholisma sonorae eaten by desert herbivores. Herbivores tend to avoid plants that are excessively hairy.
