	Small Farm Success Project
		Phacelia tanacetifolia is a versatile plant that is used extensively in Europe, both as a cover crop and as bee forage.
		Phacelia is a long-day plant and requires a minimum of 13 hours of daylight to initiate flowering (roughly mid-April to early September in the mid-Atlantic).
		Phacelia seed is inexpensive in areas where it is used extensively, but not currently in the U.S. There are 234,960 seeds to the pound, however, so a pound of phacelia goes a long way.

	Phacelia lenta
		Phacelia lenta can be distinguished from other members of the genus occurring within its range by the following combination of characters: a clump-forming perennial with glandular herbage, bipinnatifid leaves, persistent white corollas, and long-exserted stamens with purple filaments.
		Phacelia lenta is endemic to a small area of the arid Columbia Basin region.
		Phacelia lenta occurs primarily on basalt cliffs and ledges and cracks in basalt outcrops.

	Cover Crop Database: Complete Crop Summary of Phacelia
		Phacelia (Sengonca and Frings, 1988), tansy phacelia (Niehaus and Ripper, 1976).
		Phacelia is a bushy plant with fern-like foliage and blue flowers (Pears et al., 1989).
		In a two-year, replicated study, Sengonca and Frings (1988) grew tansy phacelia (Phacelia tanacetifolia, Hydrophyllaceae) on the corners, in interior strips, and in "islands", in conjunction with 200-m2 plots of sugarbeet.

	Alpine Phacelia - Phacelia sericea
		Alpine Phacelia is a tubular, bell-shaped or bowl-shaped flower.
		"Phacelia" comes from the Greek word "phakelos" which means "bundles".
		The Alpine Phacelia grows on rocky, open or wooded places in the mountains.

	Hydro2.html
		"Phacelia" is derived from a Greek word phakelos meaning "bundle," for the plant's clustered flowers; hastata means "spear-shaped" because some have pointed lower leaves with lateral lobes that look like one type of spearhead (not seen in the illustrations).
		A closely related species, the varileaf phacelia, Phacelia heterophylla (left), is so similar that the two plants are difficult to tell apart (The latter plant tends to be taller, more hirsute, and have lobed leaves on the lower portion of the stem).
		The Idaho Phacelia, Phacelia idahoensis, is a tall plant rather similar to the purple fringe shown above although not as showy.

	Phacelia - LoveToKnow Garden
		Phacelia - A group of sun-loving annuals with showy flowers, mainly from the western states of N. America.
		Some are only a few inches high and spread along the ground; others are several feet in height, bearing bell-shaped or tubular flowers, blue, mauve, purple, or white, and carried in curved racemes which straighten as they expand.
		Seeds may be raised in heat, and the seedlings planted out in clumps, but this needs care, for all Phacelias dislike moving.

	Phacelia, Lana Woollypod Vetch, And Austrian Winter Pea: Three New Cover (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		However, the impact of phacelia, oil seed radish, and other cover crops on populations of Sclerotinia minor, the causal agent of lettuce drop, is not known.
		In both 1993 and 1994 experiments (see Table 1), phacelia, Lana woollypod vetch, purple vetch (Vicia benghalensis), Austrian winter pea, and lettuce became infected and the pathogen was isolated from field samples.
		When lettuce was planted after cover crop incorporation, phacelia, Lana woollypod vetch, and Austrian winter pea plots had significantly higher lettuce drop incidence than fallow plots in the first year.

		Phacelias are cultivated as a honey-producing crop in some countries, and some are ornamentals, but I found no mention of economic uses for the species discussed here.
		This is a small family of about 18 genera and 275 species found mostly in the western United States.
		The genus Phacelia (from the Greek phakelos "a fascicle," in reference to the clustered flowers) is by far the largest, with about 130 species in the Americas.

	CPC Plant Profile - National Collection of Endangered Plants
		Although there are many known populations of Silvery Phacelia compared to other rare species, the majority of populations are small and separated by great distances.
		Phacelia argentea grows on unstabilized or semi-stabilized sand dunes, bluffs, and bases of coastal headlands along the northern California and southern Oregon Pacific coast.
		Silvery Phacelia reproduces primarily be seeds, short rhizomes, and spreads by a branched caudex (Rittenhouse 1995).

		The Phacelia fimbriata is also known as the Fringed Phacelia or the Fringed Scorpion-Weed.
		Phacelia, a native to North America and Andean South America, is the largest genus of the Hydrophyllaceae family.
		Genus Phacelia comes from the Greek phakelos "a fascicle" which refers to the clustered flowers it produces.
