Description

The inflorescence consists of a solitary flower on a very long, strongly coiling pedicel up to 9 centimeters long. The flower at the tip is a dark-veined purple snapdragon over a centimeter wide. The fruit is a dehiscent capsule containing many bumpy seeds.[citation needed]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]Neogaerrhinum strictum is native to California and northwestern Mexico.[1] It is found in the coastal hills and mountain ranges. It grows in many local plant communities, especially in areas that have recently burned.[citation needed]
