Been a while since we last had one of these. Anyone care to identify this beastie?
Okay, it's a shrub, not a beastie, but you get the idea. Attribution to follow.
Update: Identity available here. Photo by Josiah.

Fouquieria (Idria) columnaris of the Fouquieriaceae? The Boojum Tree (from Lewis Carrol) or Cirio (Spanish = candle).
ReplyDeleteIf that is right then I got it from the bent top.
Oleg Polunin defined a tree as a woody plant over 2 metres, a shrub being a woody plant under 2 metres. For the purposes of his Trees and Shrubs of... series, I think he knew the usual overlapping meanings. I think that counted even for living telegraph poles.
ReplyDeleteI know, I just like the sound of the word "shrub".

ReplyDeleteI thought it was Didieriaceae at first but look at the cactus at the bottom left, so Californian it has probably got an agent.
ReplyDeleteLovely word, shrub. You know shrub is a style of alcoholic cordial? From the same Arabic root as sherbert and syrup.
It looks like a mesquite plant that has a hoop-snake nest in it.
