Amsinckiopsis

Amsinkiopsis is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the borage family consisting of the species Amsinckiopsis kingii. A. kingii was previously considered part of the genus Plagiobothrys, until phylogenetic study proved the genus to be polyphyletic (coming from more than one common ancestor). Amsinkiopsis kingii, known by the common name Great Basin popcornflower, is native to the Great Basin and Mojave Desert of the United States, where it grows in desert and plateau scrub habitat, among saltbush and on rocky slopes and flats.
