An erect native annual, often much branched, herb that grows up to 4.5 feet (1.5 meters) high. Flowers are irregular, orange-yellow in color. Occurs in all types of moist habitats throughout our area. Its succulent, often hollow, stems will exude a mucilaginous liquid when broken. This liquid is said to be useful as a soothing remedy for the itching caused by the sap of poison-ivy, western poison-oak, and poison sumac.
