Amsinckia tessellata is a species of fiddleneck known by the common names bristly fiddleneck and devil’s lettuce. It is native to much of western North America from British Columbia to New Mexico to Baja California, where it is a common plant in many types of habitat, including disturbed areas. This is a bristly annual herb similar in appearance to other fiddlenecks. Its coiled flower cluster holds yellow to orange tubular flowers up to a centimeter wide at the corolla, which often has fewer than five lobes.
