Question about a plant
I'd like to ask what kind of plant is this:
The picture is from Horse Bench south of Green River. We have seen this plant on other places too.
Thank you for help!

Question about a plant
Purslane.
It's edible and highly nutritious.

Beware!
Rob Clifford from ExpeditionUtah gave another explanation. It is Halogeton Glomeratus, a highly noxouis species, especially dangerous for sheep.

Aha, I stand corrected.
Upon closer inspection I see that the leaves are all wrong. Halogeton typically grows upward, and is typically recognized in its flowering state, which is why I thought at first that it was purslane, which invariably grows outward, along the ground.
I saw the red stems and was fooled.
Yeah, don't eat that stuff
