Phacelia inyoensis, the common name Inyo phacelia, is an uncommon species of phacelia. It is endemic to California, in Inyo and Mono Counties, often within the Inyo National Forest. [2]
It is known only from the Eastern Sierra Nevada, Inyo Mountains, and White Mountains, and valley meadows between them. It grows in meadows on alkaline soils. [2]
- Description
Phacelia inyoensis is an annual herb growing up to about 10 centimeters high with a basal array of lobed rounded or oval leaves on short petioles. It is glandular and coated in stiff hairs.
The inflorescence is a cyme of bell-shaped flowers each only 2 or 3 millimeters long. Unlike many phacelias which have blooms in shades of purple and blue, this species has light yellow flowers.
