Hiddenflower Phacelia (Phacelia cryptantha)Observer
jdmoreDescription
Didn't recognize this species at first with such few-lobed rounded leaves. I tried out a few other species, like P. rattanii and P. peirsoniana, before deciding it was P. cryptantha. Wrong leaf shape for P. rattanii, wrong calyx hairs for P. peirsoniana.
Besides being shade-grown, it was growing at a warmer time of year after a cold wet month of May. It seems like other Phacelia species may alter their typical leaf shapes under such conditions.
A nearby occurrence (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/29087115) was similar but more open-grown, and the leaves were a little more lobed. And there are other occurrences in the region with relatively little lobing (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/10370492).
Collection number Morefield 5905, Matson, & Purdy.

yerbasantaDescription
Best fit, but leaves seem consistently too small for this species over many years of observing it!
Maybe a new subspecies?

Sessile-leaved Yerba Santa (Eriodictyon sessilifolium)Observer
plantsoflacountyDescription
@jrebman theres three adult plants and no seedlings. This population seems to be spreading via roots like the plants by the LA river but the large gaps between adults seen here aren't present by the LA river. The LA river plants are just a giant bush. Any chance these could be planted by indigenous people or the Spanish? This would be the first Eriodictyon the Spanish would have encountered coming up Baja.
