State Rank Reason (see State Rank above)
Tends to grow on sparsely vegetated slopes, where it is probably currently secure.
General Description
Annual. Stems erect, often branched, 10–30 cm. Herbage malodorous, short-hirsute, brown-stipitate-glandular. Leaves basal and cauline, the blade linear-lanceolate, 2–10 cm long, deeply pinnately divided into ovate, crenate to lobed lobes. Inflorescence terminal and axillary cymes. Flowers: calyx glandular, 3–4 mm long; corolla campanulate, purple, 5–8 mm long, lobes 3–5 mm long; stamens glabrous, exserted; style exserted, divided >1/2-way. Seeds 2 to 4, grooved, pitted (
