Standl. }}Tidestromia lanuginosa is a species of flowering plant in the amaranth family known by the common name woolly tidestromia.[1] Range and habitatIt is native to the southwestern United States and northern to central Mexico, where it grows in many types of habitat, including desert canyons and woodlands, desert riparian zones, desert and coastal scrub, beaches, and disturbed habitat such as roadsides. Growth patternIt is an annual herb producing a sprawling red, yellow, or greenish stem up to 50 centimeters long, or occasionally longer, to form clumps or patches on the ground. Leaves and stemThe leaves are quite variable in shape, being rounded to lance-shaped and sometimes asymmetrical. They are gray-green in color due to a thin to dense layer of hairs. The hairs gradually wear off on the upper surface revealing the green below.[2] Stems are red and are also covered with white hairs.[2] Flowers and fruitFlowers occur in the leaf axils in clusters of a few, or solitary. The flower lacks petals but has tiny sepals around a ring of five stamens. The plant blooms July to October.[2] References1. ^{{PLANTS|id=TILA2|taxon=Tidestromia lanuginosa|accessdate=10 December 2015}} 2. ^1 2 Mojave Desert Wildflowers, Pam Mackay, 2nd Ed. 2013, p. 259 External links
