Common Fiddleneck (Amsinckia micrantha)

Family: Boraginaceae

Common name: Common Fiddleneck

Scientific name: Amsinckia micrantha

Date taken: 13/5/2023

Notes: Introduced species from the US occasionally found in sandy wastelands. Not easily confused with other borages, but one similar species, A. lycopsoides, was also reported from the UK. A. lycopsoides is supposedly larger and has scales on the corolla tube, but personally I haven't fully grasped the difference between the two species.
