Cleomella longipes
Chiricahua Mountain stinkweed is a sparsely branched annual herb of saline or alkaline flats in the desert Southwest and northern Mexico, grown rarely outside its native range. Given its habitat, it needs full sun and well-drained, salty or alkaline soil, and it is not a common garden plant.
Cleomella longipes, the Chiricahua Mountain stinkweed, is a plant species native to northern Mexico and to the southwestern United States. It has been reported from Chihuahua, San Luis Potosí, trans-Pecos Texas, New Mexico (Grant and Hidalgo Counties) Arizona (Cochise County). It is found on saline or alkaline flats at elevations of 500–1000 m.
