|
IDENTIFIED as European Gromwell ((Lithospermum officinale)
Hard, tiny white seed capsules? This is
just a fragment of the plant. I did not find the plant itself, but
just this small branch, lying under a cedar tree at the edge of a
field. Could these be some sort of insect gall or cocoon
or eggs?? Probably not ... there are plants with seed capsules like
this.
