About Asclepias solanoana Woodson

Asclepias solanoana Woodson is a robust perennial herb. It produces smooth purple stems that grow prostrate, lying along the ground. Thick leaves are arranged in opposite pairs along the stem. Each leaf has an oval or heart-shaped blade that sits on a short petiole. Its inflorescence is a heavy, spherical cluster of flowers. Every individual flower has a central set of rounded pink to brown hoods, and a corolla that is either reflexed against the stalk or extends outward.
