Boraginaceae (Borage Family)

Description: This small annual is sometimes also called Curvenut Combseed. This plant may reach a height of eight inches. It has tiny white f lowers and seed pods that are toothed in such a way that they look a little bit like combs, hence the name.

Habitat: Combbur is found throughout the desert southwest below 6000 feet in elevation.
