Fragrant White Sand Verbena-Abronia elliptica

A small plant with a ball of flowers emerging from the stem looks different from many of the families we've looked at. This is Fragrant White Sand Verbena (Abronia elliptica), and it's in Four O'clock Family (Nyctaginaceae).

The plant grows in sandy soils, and the flowers will open even more.
