DESCRIPTION:
Whitestem filaree is a low-growing, cool-season annual. Leaves of
young plants form a rosette close to the ground. Mature plants grow
erect or have spreading prostrate stems. Leaves are compound and
toothed. Stems are white. Flowers are rose to purple. The fruit
is long and needlelike. At maturity the fruit separates into five
parts, each having a tail that coils spirally as the seed matures
and dries. Whitestem filaree can be distinguished from redstem and
broadleaf filaree by its
leaf shape.
