| Crucifixion Thorn Between the Alvord and Cronese Mountains there is a
series of disconnected low hills covered primarily with a creosote bush scrub,
sparse in many places. In this area
is found a particularly dense concentration of the crucifixion thorn, Castela
emoryi. This plant, though ranging
into southern Arizona, has a spotty distribution and is nowhere common.
(See Crucifixion Thorn Natural Area #1
and Crucifixion Thorn Natural Area #2) At this site the plant is growing on Quaternary
alluvium. Animal life is typical of the region. Integrity: Though
there are roads in the area and mining has taken place, the plants are in good
condition. Use: Private November 1980
