Crime Pays But Botany Doesn't

The geology of Southern New Mexico is based around gently undulating sandals of red sand weathered out of 300 million year old rock. It is hot, dry, and windy, but tons of interesting stuff still manages to grow here, such as Acourtia nana,  Monarda punctata var occidentalis, Dalea lanata, Phyllanthus abnormis, Abronia fragrans, Epixiphium wislizenii (Snapdragon Vine), Quercus havardii (dwarf oak) and a ton more sand endemics.

Your contributions support this content. It sounds cliché but it's true. Whether it's travel expenses, vehicle repair, or medical costs for urushiol poisoning (or  rockfalls, bee-stings, hand slices, toxic sap, etc), your financial support allows this content to continue so the beauty of Earth's flora can be made accessible to the public, accompanied by a small dose of profanity and crude humor. At a time when so much is disappearing beneath the human footprint, CPBBD is willing to do whatever it takes to document these plant species and the ecological communities they are a part of before they're gone for good.
