"Caribe" (Cnidoscolus angustidens Torr.), a promising oilseed geophyte from semiarid norwest Mexico

The reproductive phenology of [`]caribe' (Cnidoscolus angustidens Torr.) and the oil quality and content of its seeds were studied to provide information for possible cultivation. Caribe is a perennial herb, widely distributed in the Cape Region of Baja California Sur, Mexico. Seeds of caribe a...
