Template:Short description Template:Speciesbox
Oreocarya virginensis is a species of wildflower in the family Boraginaceae known by the common name Virgin River cryptantha.[1] This is a small plant native to the southwestern United States (Arizona, California, Nevada and Utah[1]) where it is a common plant in scrub and woodland. It is named for the Virgin River, a tributary of the Colorado River which runs through the region. This cryptantha is an annual or occasionally a perennial up to 40 centimeters in height. It is coated densely in long white hairs and bristles. The inflorescence is cylindrical or club-shaped, packed with tubular flowers with flat-faced corollas. The flower is usually bright white with yellow throat parts at the tube opening. The fruit is a rough, ridged nutlet.
