Abronia maritima

I'm on vacation, so only a short written accompaniment today. – Daniel

Thanks to Bill from San Jose, California (aka bbum@Flickr) for today's photograph submitted via the BPotD Flickr Group Pool. If you like, check out the original image or visit Bill's weblog, bbum's weblog-o-mat.

To see the habitat of this species, visit the web site of Tijuana River National Estuarine Research Reserve in California (in particular, the beaches and dunes page). Calflora.net has another photograph and links to the translation of the Latin names in its entry on red sand verbena.
