Navarretia
''Navarretia'' is a genus of about 30 species of flowering plants related to the phloxes and the gilias. This is one genus of plants, among others, which are sometimes called pincushionplants. The inflorescence which bears the flowers is surrounded by frilly green bracts bearing soft spines, giving it the appearance of a pincushion. Several species are members of the vernal pool ecosystem. Selected species: *''Navarretia atractyloides'' - hollyleaf pincushionplant *''Navarretia breweri'' - Brewer's pincushionplant *''Navarretia capillaris'' - miniature gilia *''Navarretia cotulifolia'' - cotulaleaf pincushionplant *''Navarretia divaricata'' - divaricate navarretia *''Navarretia eriocephala'' - hoary pincushionplant *''Navarretia filicaulis'' - threadstem pincushionplant *''Navarretia fossalis'' - vernal pool pincushionplant *''Navarretia hamata'' - hooked pincushionplant *''Navarretia heterandra'' - Tehama pincushionplant *''Navarretia heterodoxa'' - Calistoga pincushionplant *' ...
