Plant #6 - Plant Description
Transcript
Two images: Right: A clumpy low-growing tree stands in the foreground of a mostly bare expanse with soil orange-brown. Little other vegetation occurs here except a distant treeline with scarce detail visible. The clumpy tree covers its hidden trunk and branches with light green foliage. The tiny leaves blend together in a haze of unkempt green.
Left: One individual branch from the above described tree shows the tiny scale-like leaves overlapping and completely covering the skinny branch tips. Down the branches, the smooth brownish-gray bark lies exposed. Present throughout the branch, small round gray balls numerously appear along the branches and leaves.
Now, can you identify this plant? Choices are: Rocky Mountain Juniper, Saguaro Cactus, Cabbage Palm, Coconut Palm, Leafus Plantstemious, Yellow Seavine, Ponderosa Pine, Prickly Pear Cactus, Winterfat, Soapweed Yucca, or Dotted Gayfeather.
