Phacelia minor, with the common names Whitlavia and wild Canterbury bells is a species of phacelia. It is native to Southern California and Baja California, where it grows in the Colorado Desert and the coastal and inland mountains of the Transverse-Peninsular Ranges, often in chaparral and areas recently burned.
Description

The leaves are up to 11 centimeters long with toothed, crinkly, oval or rounded blades borne on long petioles.
