Fiddleneck
''Amsinckia'' is a genus of flowering plants commonly known as fiddlenecks. The common name is derived from the flower stems, which curl over at the top in a manner reminiscent of the head of a fiddle. Fiddlenecks are in the family Boraginaceae, along with borage and forget-me-nots. The genus is named after the patrician Amsinck family in honour of the Hamburg head of state and patron of botany Wilhelm Amsinck (1752–1831).Umberto Quattrocchi (ed.), ''CRC World Dictionary of Medicinal and Poisonous Plants: Common Names, Scientific Names, Eponyms, Synonyms, and Etymology'', CRC Press, 2016, p. 263, Distribution and Description The fiddlenecks are native to western North America and south-western South America, but they are naturalized in other regions. They are annuals, many of them bristly. Most have an erect stem, whose height varies from 20 to 120 cm. In most species the flowers are yellow, often with an orange tinge. Most are found at relatively low altitudes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Amsinckia Grandiflora
''Amsinckia grandiflora'' is a species of fiddleneck known by the common name large-flowered fiddleneck. This is a wildflower endemic to California and considered a Critically endangered species on the state and national level. Distribution The last remaining native populations are on the grasslands near Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Alameda County, California. Other populations have been established in nearby protected areas. The plant is endangered due to a number of factors, including invasive plants, grazing, and development of the valuable land. In the California grasslands, fire is commonly used to control the exotic species, however it negatively affects the native species that live there like Amsinckia grandiflora. Due to the use of fire, the population of the organism is decreasing.Espeland, E. K., Carlsen, T. M., Macqueen, D.(2005). Fire and dynamics of granivory on a California grassland forb.
