Something we all probably have in common and it is everywhere now, most I've ever seen on my desert hikes: Chamaesyce prostrata https://cals.arizona.edu/yavapaiplants/ ... =prostrata and AZ has their own: http://southwestdesertflora.com/Website ... ndmat.html

Arizona Sandmat is one of several Sandmat or "spurges" in Arizona. Many are difficult to identify and often key characteristics require a 10 power lens or seed examination. The semi-erect growth and possible its urn-shaped involucre, although tiny to examine, are important distinctions for Arizona Sandmat.
