Phacelia mammillarensis, common name Nipple Beach phacelia, is a plant species native to Kane County, Utah. Type locale there, as recorded on the herbarium label, is about 9.6 km (6 miles) east of Glen Canyon City.[1]

Phacelia mammillarensis is an annual herb with simple oblong to lanceolate leaves up to 7 mm (0.3 inches) long, covered with small glandular hairs. Inflorescences are terminal and lateral, each in the shape of a "scorpoid cyme", i.e. curled in a spiral like a scorpion's tail or like a half-open fiddlehead fern. Flowers are yellow to white.[2]
