I found a plant growing wild in So. Cal. The early part of the
growth, the lower section of the plant had regular leaves, but the
upper part had apparently abandoned the leaves and the stems had grown
frills, or something; raised sections along each part of the stem on
either side, flat and about 1/2 inches wide.

My guess water that it changed to this form of growth to conserve
water.

there is probably a name for this type growth and for this plant, I
know neither.
