INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO

date of photo May 13, 2012

location San Bruno Mountain (San Mateo County, California, US)

family Boraginaceae

notes Habit of Phacelia nemoralis, growing in protection and/or shade of other chaparral shrubs. There was a major fire in this locale a few years ago, and I'm guessing this biennial/weak perennial is an opportunistic fire-follower.

W.L. Clifton made a 1988 voucher for Phacelia nemoralis from San Bruno Mountain. A thorough taxonomic/morphological reference is L. W. Heckard's 1960 monograph ''Taxonomic Studies in the Phacelia magellanica Polyploid Complex'' (see also Heckard's 1956 'The subspecies of Phacelia nemoralis Greene').

photo category: Plant - annual/perennial
