Euphorbia (not Chamaesyce) wrightii

The CB is plumb out of Chamaesyces for the time being. But we have lotsa other spurges including this one. This spurge is fairly rare, maybe, in Coahuila and in the western part of the Edwards Plateau. The specimen is from Irion County, collected '97. But what I wanted to show is the long exserted gynophore of this one. So that's what's here, somewhere, the long exserted gynophore. Also, there's a gland with its petaloid appendage pulled off so ye can see what those look like pulled off. Can ye say, strigose vestiture?
