Description | Found growing on a legume (probably Prosopis). Feb 12, 2010. Sabino Creek, Arizona. Close up of berries. There is a bird called a Phainopepla that lives in an interesting relationship with this plant. The bird gets most of its nutrition from the plants fruit and in turn it spreads its seeds in its droppings when sitting on other legumes. |
