About Navarretia breweri (A.Gray) Greene
Navarretia breweri is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family, with the common name Brewer's navarretia. It is native to much of the western United States, where it grows in open habitat types. It is a hairy, glandular annual herb that produces an erect, branching brown or reddish stem, reaching up to 8 centimeters tall and wide. Its small gray-green leaves bear tiny needlelike lobes. The inflorescence forms a rounded head filled with leaflike green bracts edged with pointed lobes. Yellow flowers, less than one centimeter long, grow tucked between these bracts. The corolla is split into five rounded lobes, each around one millimeter long.
