Navarretia pubescens is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common name downy pincushionplant.

It is native to the central mountain ranges and Central Valley of California, and to southern Oregon. It can be found in chaparral and oak woodlands habitats.

Description

Navarretia pubescens is a hairy, glandular annual herb producing a reddish or brownish stem up to about 33 centimeters in maximum length. The leaves are divided into many linear or needlelike lobes, sometimes clustered. The upper leaves are hairy, the lower generally hairless.

The inflorescence is a cluster of many flowers surrounded by leaflike bracts and coated with downy or glandular hairs. Each flower is just over a centimeter long and blue in color with a purplish throat.

gollark: I also had the weird idea of networking between adjacent devices by setting labels really fast, but that probably could get by with just some sensible error checking.

gollark: Also, I have this thing for networking (at amazing 20Bps speed) over bundled cables. Perhaps that would be a sensible place to apply Ethernet stuff? It's currently only safe to use between two devices at once (lest others interfere horribly) and has no error correcting stuff.

gollark: My chat system runs over 3636, I'll add that tomorrow.

gollark: Why do you actually need cryptograhically secure randomness in CC?
