Harfordia macroptera (Benth.) Greene & Parry

국표에 없다.

Harfordia macroptera is a woody perennial in the family Polygonaceae commonly known as rabbit's purse. It is the sole species in the genus Harfordia, which is endemic to the Baja California Peninsula. This plant is characterized by a unique, conspicuous bladder embellished with red to purple veins that surround the fruit. The sac-like structure is actually a dramatically modified bract, and assists in dispersal of the seeds through the wind.

Description

This sprawling to spreading shrub or subshrub is characterized by its conspicuous and colorful sac-like bracts that aid in dispersal of the achene. Plants may be monoecious but are more commonly dioecious. This species may not be immediately obvious in habitat until their inflated bracts are fully expanded.
