Palafoxia arida var. gigantea (Spanish needle) ( )

  • Giant Spanish needle is a striking pink-flowered member of the sunflower family. The typical form of this species is a widespread plant in sandy places throughout the California deserts, but this large and often perennial variety reaches as much as 6 feet high-three times the height of the typical form of the species. As is the case with many dune taxa, the seeds of the giant Spanish needle will germinate and emerge from depths much greater than the non-dune variety of Spanish needle.
