Phacelia argentea, also known as sand dune phacelia or silvery phacelia, is a rare plant species native to the coast of southwestern Oregon and far northwestern California. It is a perennial herb with thick, silvery-haired leaves and bell-shaped white or cream flowers. This species is only found in coastal sand dune habitats, which are declining in the area. Its main threat is the presence of non-native European beachgrass, which was originally planted to stabilize the dunes but now dominates the ecosystem. The plant is pollinated by honey bees, bumble bees, and a local native leafcutter bee. In 1995, it was recorded at only 33 sites, highlighting the need for conservation efforts to protect this unique and endangered species.
