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.
