Description
Prince's Plume (Stanleya pinnata) wildflowers and Sage Brush (Artemisia tridentata) glowing in late evening sun, with a backdrop of the White Mountains, Owens Valley, near Bishop, California
The White Mountains are a triangular fault block mountain range facing the Sierra-Nevada to the west across the Owens valley. Its highest point at 14,252 feet is the third-highest summit in California.
Prince's plume is a tall, glabrous, suffrutescent perennial that grows in sandy washes and on desert slopes and seleniferous soils. It reaches 5' in height. The basal and lower cauline leaves are lanceolate in outline, deeply pinnately lobed into lanceolate segments, and from 2" to 8" long, while the upper leaves are shorter, 2" or so long, and entire-margined to few-lobed. The flowers are in dense elongated racemes to 24" long, and each flower has four sepals spreading to reflexed, and four yellow petals, clawed at the base and having long, wavy hairs on the inner side. The stamens are longer than the petals and pilose at the base. The fruits are stalked linear siliques to 3" long, containing seeds which are brown and oblong.
