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]
