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.
