  Polygonaceae, Eriogonum umbellatum nevadense, stipe
Scanned 15 August 2012.

The stipe is the short stalk from the ovary of the flower down to the joint with the pedicel (circled in purple). For a long time I thought the stipe was from the receptacle up to the joint, i.e., the pedicel (circled in red).
