This is an Amsinckia, or fiddleneck, that we found in Eastern Washington State. Amsinckia is an interesting genus in the borage family, Boraginaceae, that forms helicoid cymes rather than scorpioid cymes (which are common in Boraginaceae). Different Amsinckia species tend to co-occur and hybridize, so it can be difficult to distinguish them (and that's why we're leaving this one, which we didn't key out, as just "Amsinckia species!"). When we had to key Amsinckia out to grade class assignments in Systematic Botany, we cursed this genus!
These are quite bristly and uncomfortable to handle, and also, like other genera in the borage family like Pentaglottis (green alkanet) and Symphytum (comfrey), tend to contain high levels of alkaloids.
