Scientific Name: Hackelia floribunda Size: 50 - 100 cm BORAGINACEAE -- Borage Family Description: Erect biennial or short-lived perennial, stems few, stout. Herbage with coarse hairs spreading or lying flat. Basal leaves with petioles, oblanceolate, early deciduous. Stem leaves alternate, 4 - 20 cm long, 5 - 30 mm wide; the lower ones with petioles, oblanceolate; the upper sessile, lanceolate to narrowly elliptic, reduced above. Flowers perfect, individually on short stalks, in long-stalked leafless clusters from leaf axils. Calyx cleft nearly to the base into 5 lobes. Corolla trumpet-shaped, the mouth 4 - 7 mm wide with 5 rounded lobes bent flat. Stamens 5, not protruding. Fruit of 4 pricklymargined nutlets on down-curving stalks. 136 Common Name: Stickseed, beggarlice Color: White to blue Notes: The genus Hackelia is named for the Czech botanist Joseph Hackel (1783-1869). The species name floribunda is Latin for “profusely flowering”, and this stickseed has numerous several-flowered clusters of either white or blue flowers often with a yellow eye. The seeds resemble those of another stickseed genus, Lappula (see Lappula redowskii), but in Lappula the fruit is carried on an erect stalk and each flower is subtended by a leaf-like bract. Hackelia floribunda blooms from mid-June to mid-August between 7000 and 10000 ft. New Mexico Native
Scientific Name: Lappula redowskii Size: 5 - 40 cm BORAGINACEAE -- Borage Family Description: Synonym: Lappula occidentalis Erect annual herb, stems branched above. Herbage with short, stiff hairs lying flat and spreading. Leaves alternate, oblanceolate to linear or linear-oblong, 1 - 4 cm long, 5 - 10 mm wide, sessile, becoming lanceolate bracts above. Flowers perfect, on stalks 1 - 2 mm long, from axils of bracts, forming long interrupted clusters. Calyx cleft nearly to base, with 5 erect lanceolate segments. Corolla 3 - 4 mm long, 1.5 - 2.5 mm wide, tubular, 5-lobed, the throat closed by 5 appendages. Stamens 5, not protruding. Fruit of 4 nutlets carried on an erect stalk, each with a single row of marginal prickles. 137 Common Name: Stickseed Color: White Notes: The genus name Lappula comes form the Latin lappa, “bur” and the diminutive ending -ula, in reference to the prickly-edged nutlets. Plants of this genus distinctly resemble another stickseed genus Hackelia (see Hackelia floribunda), but in Hackelia the fruiting stalks bend downward and the individual flowers are not subtended by a bract. Stickseed blooms from mid-April through August between 4500 and 9000 ft. New Mexico Native
