Eryngium vaseyi
Also called Coyote Thistle
Coyotethistle (Eryngium vaseyi) is a spiny, perennial herb from California's wet vernal pool habitats, grown mainly by native plant enthusiasts. It needs wet winters and a sunny, well-drained spot in the growing season.
Eryngium vaseyi is a species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae. It is endemic to California. The specific epithet vaseyi honors the American plant collector George Richard Vasey (not to be confused with his father George Vasey), who made extensive collections in the region in 1880 and 1881. The species is commonly called Vasey's coyote-thistle.
Eryngium vaseyi is endemic to California, where it is known from vernal pools and similar wet habitat in the Central Valley and certain areas of the Central Coast Ranges and southern California coast.
