 Slender
Spiderflower
Cleome multicaulis (full-size)
This rare beauty is found on the sand sheet adjacent to the dunes, especially
where the water table nears the surface.
Slender spiderflower typically grows on the edges of the wetlands or moist
meadows. A close relative, Rocky Mountain beeplant, is found in drier
locations throughout the park. Slender spiderflower can also be found
in arid regions along New Mexico's reaches of the Rio Grande.
