Euphorbia (Chamaesyce) angusta

Yep that spell to simmer the dern wind down worked just fine, but now it's clouded up out yonder and ye caint see a celestial body one.

I have a spell for the clouds too Ray. Want me to make them, disappear?

No, no, no, Hope! We need them clouds for their rain makin' potential. Don't even think about makin' the clouds go away. Red would be especially aggravated if ye nixed a rain possibility.

So, no telescopery for the nonce. What's fer fun tonight? Hey Crumby have ye got another ASS photograph, fer me?

As a matter of fact, I have not been entirely idle and have labored incessantly for several minutes to produce yet another spurge seed image.

Well let's load er up then. Which one ye got here Crumby?

This one is vintage May 1999 from Edwards County. It is Euphorbia angusta, and it's endemic to Texas, maybe. The seed as you may be able to see is white.

Yikes, Crumby that seed is similar to the WG's complexion when She's out of sorts.

Yepper, Hope. Yer right on that fer sure.

Here's a spell for this particular seed, "grayish-white to chalky, a few low irregularly anastomosing transverse ridges, ecarunculate."

Do yall see all that?

Excuse me Crumby, but I don't see the ecarunculate, because I don't know what an ecarunculate might be disposed, to be.

Well then, you wouldn't necessarily be seein' any sign of a caruncle Hope, cause it aint there. That's why it's ecarunculate, although that may not be apparent to everyone. Carunculate aint a word ye see spelled every day. And e-carunculate generally spells it aint there atall.

Oh! Well Crumby, I think you should take a picture of a caruncle, so I will know what they look like.

All righty then Hope. Soon as I can find one. Where's Rayetta?

She's out back with the cows, reading up on Druid marriages.

Er. All righty then!

Yep!
