Description
It is an annual herb spreading along the ground or growing erect to a maximum height near 40 centimeters. It is glandular and coated in stiff hairs. The small leaves are oval or oblong and lobed or divided into segments. The inflorescence is a curving or coiling cyme of bell-shaped flowers each no more than half a centimeter long. Unlike many phacelias which have blooms in shades of purple and blue, this species has bright yellow flowers.
gollark: Because it became a political issue currently.
gollark: That still doesn't fix the data apparently being bad and open-submission.
gollark: And you shouldn't just go for the worst-case scenario (conveniently one making your preferred point best) when assuming things; you should find the most realistic one, and/or provide a range.
gollark: The US government has frequently been useless and incompetent at pandemic handling (halting the J&J vaccine and initially claiming masks didn't work are the two obvious things I can think of), but that doesn't mean that everything they say is wrong, or that belief in things that the government says is necessarily just because the government says it.
gollark: And apparently it's generally much more useful for seeing what might be an effect rather than collecting data on frequency of things.
