Small Caltrops
Tribulus terrestris
39.6852, -0.671791
Field Notes
Description:
The tiny fruit of this plant can be extremely painful if you tread on them. They are a pain here where they get picked up by shoe soles while out walking then fall out unnoticed at home and get trodden on by bare feet!
Habitat:
Limestone outcrop in foothills of los Serranos mountains.
Notes:
My Mediterranean plant book gives this the common name of Maltese Cross but that same name is more commonly used for Lychnis chalcedonica which is not listed in the book.
