This annual herb is a member of the Borage Family and grows in dry, sandy areas throughout the western U.S. It's called wingnut cryptantha (Cryptantha pterocarya).
It's not a very big plant, but it is quite interesting looking upon examination. For more information about wingnut cryptantha, click here.
This blog features a plant a day as I try to learn all the plants in the area where I live, in the central Great Basin. There are more than 1,000 plants known in this area, so it may take a few years!
Eventually I hope to have a photo for every plant listed in the Snake Range Key (link coming soon).
