Linanthus orcuttii is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common name Orcutt's linanthus.[1] It is known only from southern California and Baja California, where it grows in chaparral and pine forests[2] in the Peninsular Ranges, the Palomar Mountain[3] and occasionally the San Bernardino Mountains.
Description

The inflorescence is a small cluster of funnel-shaped flowers with thin, tubular throats opening into corollas barely over a centimeter wide. The flower may be white or shades of blue-purple to pink, with yellow and white throats streaked with tiny purple lines.
