Chorizanthe spinosa is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the buckwheat family, found only in the scrub habitat at the western edges of the Mojave Desert in California. It is a prostrate or upright plant, reaching up to 40 centimeters in length, with a grayish color and hairy texture. The inflorescence is an open or dense cluster of flowers, each surrounded by five bracts, one of which is much longer than the others and tipped with straight awns. The flower at the center is only about 3 millimeters wide and usually white in color.
