Loasaceae
notes Habit of a robust plant...M. reflexa is an annual. The leaves visible here are all upper leaves, which are widely ovate-deltate. The lower leaves are longer and thinner (oblong-elliptic). It's often difficult to ID Mentzelias to species, but I believe this is the only California species in the genus with 8 petals.camera Shot on a Canon Digital Rebel XT at f16, 1/100 sec, ISO 100 using a Canon 50mm compact macro lens.
