These are all the photos I am able to provide, didn't have time to
wait around for flowers on the field trips.

Looking for the identity of #2, #4, #6, #7, #8

The website explains the details about them.

Thanks,
Cartman


#2 Resembles a Tetraclea, but I'm not sure without flowers
#4 Looks like Lycium pallidum
#6 Looks like Baccharis glutinosa
#7 Looks like a Mirabilis, Boerhavia, or Allionia, would need flowers.
#8 I don't know, I would need flowers.

For #2, There are only 2 Tetraclea native to Arizona, here is the
list:

Tetraclea coulteri, the leaves are shaped differently:

Tetraclea viscida (aka: Trichostema brachiatum):
The leaves are different:

If you are sure it's in the Verbenaceae family, then I will sift
through all the Genera that are native to AZ.
