[Wikipedia] Photosynthesis Rate, High Temperature Tolerance: It has one of the highest rates of photosynthesis ever recorded.[3] It flowers from April to December.[3] It can survive very high temperatures, growing successfully in extreme environments such as Death Valley,[4] and the genetic basis for this is being studied with a view to making hardier crop plants to better cope with climate change.[5] (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
