Leaf blades usually oblong (ovate-oblong, circular, lanceolate, or ovate). Internodes of secondary branches subtending involucres in fruit usually reduced and crowded.
Phenology: Flowering year-round.
Habitat: Desert shrub, mesquite dunes, creosote bush scrub, crevices of lava rocks, roadsides, in sandy, clayey, gravelly, limestone, travertine, alluvial, and saline soils, basaltic rocky loam
Elevation: 0-1300 m
Distribution
Ariz., Calif., Nev., Tex., Utah, Mexico (Baja California, Sonora).
Discussion
F. Shreve and I. L. Wiggins (1964) recognized two subspecies of Tidestromia oblongifolia: subsp. oblongifolia characterized by oblong leaf blades 2–15 mm wide and involucres ca. 1 mm, and subsp. cryptantha, with orbiculate leaf blades 2–7 mm wide and involucres ca. 3–4 mm. These characters show a wide range of variation; the described taxa do not appear to be distinct subspecies.
