About Chorizanthe corrugata (Torr.) Torr. & A.Gray
Chorizanthe corrugata is an erect, branching herb that reaches a maximum height of around half a meter. Most of its rounded or oval leaves grow near the base of the plant, and each leaf is up to 2 centimeters long. Its inflorescence consists of a cluster of flowers; each flower emerges from a cylindrical, tubular involucre that is green or tan in color. This species can be identified by the transversely corrugated surface of this involucral tube. Three narrow bracts tipped with hooked awns run along the top edge of the tube. The flower itself is only about 2 millimeters long, hairy, and white in color.
