About

Hackelia cronquistii is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common name Cronquist's stickseed.

This species was formerly treated as a variety of Hackelia patens, until elevated to its own species status in 1972.

Where it grows

It is endemic to Oregon and Idaho in the Great Basin region and the Northwestern United States. It is native to a small area around the Oregon−Idaho border. It was known from just one population until 1982, when more were found. It was thought to be just from Oregon until 1993, when it was found in Idaho. There are about 52 populations known today. Though endemic to only the one small region and a listed Vulnerable species, it is considered locally stable.
