Tiquilia palmeri
Tiquilia palmeri is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common names Palmer's crinklemat[1] and Palmer's tiquilia. It is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, where it grows in sandy desert areas. DescriptionTiquilia palmeri is a woody perennial herb producing a white-barked, shaggy-haired stem. The clustered leaves have small, hairy, wrinkled blades rarely more than a centimeter long which are borne on longer petioles. The inflorescence is a cluster of flowers borne in the leaf axils. Each flower has a bell-shaped purple, lavender, or bluish corolla up to a centimeter long with a short, tubular throat. This is the main host plant for the rare Coachella Valley grasshopper (Spaniacris deserticola).[2] References
