Definition
A genus of plants in the amaranth family, characterized by winged or circular fruits, found in arid regions of North America.
Etymology
From 'cyclo-' (Greek kyklos, circle) + 'loma' (Greek loma, margin/border, referring to the wing-like border of the fruit). Named scientifically in the 19th century by botanists studying desert plants.
Kelly Says
Cycloloma plants have a clever trick for survival in the desert—they create round, winged seeds that tumble like little wheels across the desert floor, spreading their offspring far and wide in the wind.
