Bark white or whitish-greyish on old trunk and branches, green on young branchlets. Leaves alternate, linear, sessile, entire, often fleshy and spatulate, rapidly caducous and replaced by numerous linear foliar fascicles of 10-25 x 1.5-2 mm, axillary, of an intense green color that contrasts with the very white branches. Inflorescence in \u00b1 corymbiform racemes, sparse, with 3-25 flowers, on a 4-8 mm long peduncle. Calyx tubular with 4 sepals, 8 mm long, oblong, \u00b1 acute, first green and greenish-brown in full bloom, fused in its entirety except at the apex. Flowers with a violet to purple corolla, according to Maire when he described it, but the specimens we have seen in the field present it white. Corolla large, with 4 petals 15-16 mm long, with the half linear-oblong parts included in the calyx, and its terminal part suborbicular. Stamens 6, different, the 3 central exerted, the 3 lateral about 2 mm shorter and almost inserted. Filaments of the central stamens half-welded (in <em>H. deserti<\/em> they are free). The fruit is a linear silique (2.5-5.5 \u00d7 0.5-0.6 cm) upright, linear-oblong, with an acute apex (ending in a small obovate point); it usually contains between 3 and 12 seeds with a wide white wing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","short_name":"Henophyton zigarrhenum","name_html":"<strong>Henophyton zigarrhenum<\/strong> (Maire) G\u00f3mez Campo","short_description":"","common_names":"<em>Oudneya<\/em>\u00a0<em>zygarrhena<\/em>\u00a0Maire,<em> H. deserti<\/em> subsp.\u00a0 <em>zigarrhenum<\/em>\u00a0(Maire) Greuter &amp; Burdet","other_name":"<em>Fre<\/em>.: Oudneya marocaine d\u2019Outat el Hadj.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<em>Ara<\/em>.: hennet el bel, hennet el djmel, eulga, al alka.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<em>Tam.<\/em>: Timarugt, alleg unmu.","flowering":"March-May.","fruiting":"Between one and two months after flowering.","habitat":"Terrenos rocosos, pedregosos y a veces limoso-arenosos, en Rocky, stony and sometimes silty-sandy soils, on plains or plateaus, in a steppe or sub-desertic environment.","distribution":"Eastern Morocco.
