Douglas' Spineflower (Chorizanthe douglasii) Native, endemic, annual, hairy plant in the Buckwheat (Polygonaceae) family that grows 10–40 cm (up to 16 inches) tall in dry, sandy, gravelly soil. It is endemic to Monterey and San Luis Obispo Counties. The plant is common in Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties, but rare elsewhere. Leaves are mostly all basal, oblong to oblanceolate, and softly hairy. Inflorescence is dense clusters at terminal end of the (branching) stems. It has a triangular involucre with a continuous pink membrane. This pink membrane fills the space between the teeth like an umbrella. Awns are 0.5--1 mm, straight OR hooked (uncinate) at the terminal end. Peak bloom time: May-June.

Knotweed Family — Chorizanthe (Spineflower) "Flowers in this family do not have separate petals and sepals. For plants like this, the term “perianth” is used to describe the flower (i.e. the calyx and the corolla together) and “perianth parts” to describe the individual elements. In spineflowers, what you mostly see are the involucres and involucral membranes. The flowers themselves are 6-lobed, usually a similar color to the involucral membranes."
