'''''Brandegea''''' is a monotypic genus containing the single species '''''Brandegea bigelovii''''', the '''desert starvine'''. This sprawling perennial vine in the [[Cucurbitaceae|squash family]] is native to the deserts of California, Arizona, and northern Mexico. The distinctive small, dark-green leaves are variable in shape but are usually a deeply lobed long-fingered palmate shape. They are heavily speckled with white oil glands. The vine bears [[tendril]]s, tiny five-pointed white flowers only 2 or 3 millimeters wide, and small, dry, prickly fruits 5 or 6 millimeters in length and holding a single seed. The plant grows from a deep [[taproot]].
