Amsinckia menziesii var. intermedia [(Lehm.) A. Nelson & J.F. Macbr.] - (Fisch. & C.A. Mey.) & Ganders |
Amsinckia menziesii var. intermedia (Common Fiddleneck, or Intermediate Fiddleneck) is a species of plant in the Boraginaceae family (also called the Borage or Forget-me-not family). It is one of the common fiddlenecks of western North America distributed from Alaska, Canada, the United States, to Mexico. Like other members of the genus it has a terminal flowering whorl somewhat shaped like the head of a violin or fiddle, hence the name fiddleneck. The flowers are yellow-orange, orange, or dark yellow.
