'''''Harpagonella''''' is a monotypic genus of flowering plants in the [[Boraginaceae|borage family]] containing the single species '''''Harpagonella palmeri''''', which is known by the common name '''Palmer's grappling hook'''. It is native to the desert and coastal regions of the US states of [[California]] and [[Arizona]] and the Mexican states of [[Baja California]] and [[Sonora]]. It is a member of [[chaparral]] and [[Coastal sage scrub|coastal scrub]] plant communities. This is a small, generally erect herb reaching a maximum height of about 30 centimeters. Its stems are lined with occasional small, pointed leaves. At axils and at the tips of the stems are spiny white flowers with hooked bristles. Encapsulated in the flower is the fruit, which is a nutlet one to four millimeters wide.

The flower

Harpagonella is a genus of flowering plants in the borage family. They are known as the grappling-hooks, because of the appearance and function of their fruits.[1] The strange fruits are two small nutlets enclosed in a burlike calyx, which is armed with numerous spines covered in minute, hooked barbs.[2] These diminutive, annual plants are found in sandy, clayey, and gravelly soils, and have small white flowers. This genus is native to North America, and is found in southern California, southern Arizona, northern Sonora, and the Baja California peninsula.[1][3]

The genus has been regarded as one of the most morphologically distinctive of the Amsinckiinae, largely because of their unusual fruits. The genus was formerly monotypic, but the plants native to Arizona have since been recognized as a distinct species.[4]

Species:

  • Harpagonella arizonica (I.M. Johnston) Guilliams & B.G. Baldwin (syn. H. palmeri var. arizonica) – Commonly known as the Arizona grappling-hook.[3] Native to Arizona, northern Sonora, and southeastern Baja California. Type collected near Lowell, Arizona. Found on sandy or gravelly soils. Differs from H. palmeri in having significantly larger fruits.[4]
  • Harpagonella palmeri A.Gray – Commonly known as Palmer's grappling-hook[3] or stick-tight.[2] Native to southern California, Baja California, and Baja California Sur. Type collected on Guadalupe Island, Baja California by Edward Palmer. Found on clayey soils.[4]
