''Navarretia'' is a genus of flowering plants related to the phloxes and the gilias. This is one genus of plants, among others, which are sometimes called pincushion plants. It includes 45 species native to the Americas. In North America they range from western Canada through the western and west-central United States to northwestern Mexico, and to Ohio and Pennsylvania. In South America they range through Argentina and Chile. The inflorescence which bears the flowers is surrounded by frilly green bracts bearing soft spines, giving it the appearance of a pincushion. Several species are members of the vernal pool ecosystem. Species 45 species are accepted. *''Navarretia aeroides'' *'' Navarretia atractyloides'' - hollyleaf pincushionplant *'' Navarretia breweri'' - Brewer's pincushionplant *'' Navarretia capillaris'' - miniature gilia *'' Navarretia cotulifolia'' - cotulaleaf pincushionplant *'' Navarretia crystallina'' *'' Navarretia divaricata'' - divaricate navarretia *' ...
