Mentzelia pumila
''Mentzelia pumila'', (dwarf mentzelia, desert blazing star, blazing star, bullet stickleaf, golden blazing star,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=USDA GRIN Taxonomy )〕 yellow mentzelia, evening star, moonflower, Wyoming stickleaf,〔 etc.) is a biennial wildflower found in the western United States and northwestern Mexico from Montana and North Dakota, south to Sonora and Chihuahua. It is a blazingstar and is a member of the ''Mentzelia'' genus, the stickleafs; member species are also called "evening stars", but some stickleafs close at sunset, as does ''M. pumila.''
Leaves of ''Mentzelia pumila'' are long, very narrow, and serrated-pinnate-like; also medium to light grayish green; an individual plant in an opportune site can be 1.5- in height. The flowers are a bright, glossy medium yellow, and the major petals are variable, sometimes 5 major, 5 minor; also 4 and 4.
''Mentzelia pumila'' is covered in minute elaborations known as trichomes, which pierce and trap insects that land on it. A species of aphid, ''Macrosyphum mentzeliae'' colonises the plant and is afforded protection, since its main predator, the ladybird beetle, is unable to avoid the trichomes.
==Uses==
