Phacelia marcescens is a species of phacelia known by the common name persistentflower phacelia. It is endemic to the Sierra Nevada and its foothills in California , where it grows in meadows, forests, and other mountain habitat.
Description
Phacelia marcescens is an annual herb growing mostly erect to a maximum height near 20 centimeters. It is glandular and coated in short, stiff hairs. The leaves are 1 to 5 centimeters long, oval in shape, and smooth-edged, sometimes with small lobes near the bases of the blades.
