Greasewood Sarcobatus vermiculatus (Hook.) Torr.	aka Black Greasewood chicowood	The first 17 pictures were taken July 14.	This little oddity was on a plant regrowing after a burn. A month later I couldn't find it as all the plants grew to look normal.	These greasewoods were located all along the Midland Road from Tingley to the curve just before Midland.
This is Spring Valley and was once almost completely covered in water fed by a spring. Now it is an alkali flat.			Companion plants: Saltgrass, Shephard's purse.
	These are the male flowers.			These are the male flowers with the flat, green females.
			This is what the old branches look like.	This and the next picture were taken September 5.
This is what the seed pod looks like.
