INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO

date of photo May 6, 2023
location
Arroyo Bayo watershed (Santa Clara County, California, US)family
Boraginaceae
notes Id'ed in the field by Dylan Neubauer...this plant had herbage with a more light-gray cast than other Amsinckia nearby, presumably due to its hairs. Among some of the diagnostic characters gleaned from the Jepson eFlora Key to Amsinckia are: calyx lobes ± equal in width, 5, not fused above base; leaf not succulent, generally entire; corollas relatively small, ±yellow (rather than orange). Unfortunately, perhaps partly due to the overcast & intermittently drizzly weather, the plants here didn't seem to have any flowers open (although plants of other Amsinckia species nearby did have conspicuously open flowers). photo category: Plant - annual/perennial
