Desert Five-Spot


Range
Mojave and Sonoran deserts of southeastern California, southern Nevada and western Arizona below 4,000 feet.

Habitat
Dry, open desert bajadas, washes and flats.

Flowers
Pink to purple globes with 5 petals open at the top bloom March through May. Inside, the center is creamy with 5 deep, purple blotches surrounding many stamens. The 5 "spots" actually occur at the base of each petal. Flowers open in the afternoon and close at night.


Description
The Desert Five-Spot is one of the most beautiful flowers that grows in the desert. This annual herb, a member of the Mallow Family (Malvaceae), grows 4 to 24 inches high. Its sparse leaves are round to heart-shaped, with scalloped margins up to 2 inches wide. The color of the leaves is green and often red with short, bristly hairs.

When light passes through the delicate petals of the flower, the globe resembles a glowing lantern. For this reason, the Desert Five-Spot is also known as the Lantern Flower and Chinese Lantern.

Eremalche rotundifolium

(formerly Malvastrum rotundifolium)

commonly known as Desert Five-Spot
