Description
This desert parasite is relatively rare (the yellow C. tubulosa is commoner, look at my previous pics). I always thought that this species occurs is salty locations, but found it this time is a sandy area near Nizzana on the Israel-Egypt border. Its robust inflorescences are in complete contrast to this arid place.
