Title	Debeque phacelia plants
Alternative Title	Phacelia submutica
Creator	Clayton, Creed
Description	Phacelia submutica is a low-growing, herbaceous, spring annual plant with a tap root. The stems are typically 0.8 to 3 in (2 to 8 cm) long, often branched at the base and mostly lying flat on the ground as a low rosette (Howell 1944, pp. 371–372). Stems are often deep red and more or less hairy with straight and stiff hairs. Leaves are similarly hairy, reddish at maturity, 0.2 to 0.6 in (5 to 15 mm) long, egg-shaped or almost rectangular with rounded corners, with bases abruptly tapering to a wedge-shaped point. Leaf margins are smooth or toothed. The tube-shaped flowers are yellowish white, on short stems; the 5 petals are 0.16 to 0.19 in (4-5 mm) long; the stamens do not protrude beyond the petals. The style is 0.04 to 0.06 in (1 to 1.5 mm) long and nearly hairless, and the seed capsules do not have a short, sharply pointed tip (Howell 1944, pp. 371–372; Halse 1981, p. 124). The elongated egg-shaped seeds are 0.6 to 0.8 in (1.5 to 2 mm) long with 6 to 12 crosswise corrugations, and are blackish brown and somewhat iridescent (Howell 1944, p. 370; Halse 1981, p. 130; O’Kane 1987, p. 3).
