Other two similar species are California Plumeseed, Rafinesquia californica and Tackstem, Calycoseris wrightii. I hope I'm correct that this is Desert Chicory. It is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae. This annual plant found in dry climate areas of the southwestern deserts of the US and northwestern deserts of Mexico. It has white showy flowers, milky sap, and weak, zigzag stems, that may grow up through other shrubs for support.
其他兩個相似的物種是 California Plumseed, Rafinesquia californica 和 Tackstem, Calycoseris wrightii。 我希望我正確認定這是 Desert Chicory。是菊科的一種開花植物。它是一年生植物，生長於美國西南部沙漠和墨西哥西北部沙漠的乾燥氣候區。它有白色艷麗的花朵、乳白色的汁液和脆弱的鋸齒狀莖，它們可能會依靠其他灌木生長以得支撐。
