Description:

This is a cute deseret annual. WE always lough that it is so cute, but has such a long and unpleasant name. The name is dedicated to 2 of the pioneering Jewish botanists in the land of Israel, before the establishmant of Israel as a state. Anyhow, I was considered as an endemic of Israel and Jordan, but recently found also in Saudi-Arabia. Near the dead sea it is very common.
