It grows in rocky mountain forests and slopes, sometimes on serpentine soils.
Description
Monardella follettii is a perennial herb producing a slender erect stem which is purple in color and mostly hairless in texture. The lance-shaped, smooth-edged leaves are oppositely arranged about the stem.
The inflorescence is a head of several pink flowers blooming in a cup of leathery, hairy, glandular bracts.

gollark: This obviously creates a paradox.
gollark: ++delete the table
gollark: It stores a schema version number and uses that to determine whether it needs to run commands to create new tables and stuff, so if you delete tables without actually creating a migration for it then it will *not* automatically recreate them but will act as if they still exist, so stuff will break horribly.
