Cleome serrulata From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Cleome serrulata (Rocky Mountain Beeweed, Rocky Mountain Beeplant, Bee Spiderflower, stinking clover, Navajo spinach) is a species of Cleome, native to western North America from southern British Columbia, east to Minnesota and Illinois, and south to New Mexico and northernmost California. It is also naturalized further east in North America.

The leaves are trifoliate, with three slender leaflets each 17 cm (0.42.75 in) long. The flowers are reddishpurple, pink, or white, with four petals and six long stamens. The fruit is a capsule 36cm (12.4 in) long containing several seeds.[1][2] Plant in flower Scientific classification Kingdom: Plantae (unranked): Angiosperms (unranked): Eudicots (unranked): Rosids Order: Brassicales Family: Cleomaceae Genus: Cleome Species: C. serrulata Binomial name Cleome serrulata Taxonomy [edit] In 1817, Frederick Traugott Pursh described this species in the first volume of Flora Americae Septentrionalis. [4] In the first volume of Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis in 1824 Augustin Pyramus de Candolle moved this species into his idea of what the genus Peritoma should be, calling it Peritoma serrulatum. [5] Pursh (1814) Synonyms Peritoma serrulatum DC. Cleome integrifolia Torr. & Gray In 1901, Edward Lee Greene built a genus of Cleome species based on Candolles Peritoma including this species as Peritoma serrulatum DC. and Peritoma lutem Raf. Other species that were included have since been determined to be synonyms of these species.[6] Taxonomy references Greene, Edward L. (18991901).
