Cleomella arborea, commonly referred to as Bladderpod, is a species of flowering plant belonging to the Cleomaceae family. It is native to the southwestern regions of the United States and northern Mexico, where it thrives in arid or semi-arid environments with sandy or rocky soils. Bladderpod is characterized by its woody stems, distinctive bladder-like seed pods, and clusters of small, yellow flowers that attract pollinators. As a drought-tolerant perennial herb, it plays a role in the ecology of its native habitats, contributing to local biodiversity and ecosystem health. Known to do equally well in low ddesert and at the coast.
