Hackelia brevicula
Poison Canyon stickseed is a small perennial wildflower from the high mountains of eastern California, grown mainly by botanists and native plant enthusiasts. It is a rare, protected species, so it is best appreciated in the wild rather than collected.
Hackelia brevicula is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common name Poison Canyon stickseed.
The plant is endemic to eastern California. It is native to the Inyo Mountains and White Mountains, within Inyo County and Mono County and the Inyo National Forest. It grows at 2,700–3,150 metres (8,860–10,330 ft) in elevation, on dry rocky slopes, scrubby areas, and open quaking aspen stand habitats.
