The calyx lobes are 1.0-1.2 mm. and the calyx tube is 1.4-1.8 mm. The length of the tube is 1.17-1.80 ×the length of the lobes. If we would consider that ratio that tube >> lobes, then we would consider M. scorpiodes.

Coll. No. 2154, 13 Jul 2019, characters observed; Annual, 12-20 cm.; Stems, erect, branched at and above the base; Leaves, alternate, sessile, oblanceolate, 14 mm. × 5.5 mm. wide, strigose, few hooked hairs on abaxial mid-rib; Inflorescence, scorpioid, greatly exceeding leaves, although there are flowers throughout the plant; Pedicel, in fruit << calyx; Calyx, in flower, 2.5 mm., fused ±½, lobes ±equal, strigose, some hairs hooked, in fruit 4 mm.; Corolla, white, lobes, blue; Nutlets, 1.2 mm., >>style, brown, smooth, shiny, margin sharp raised.

I applied M. micrantha because the inflorescence greatly exceeds the leaves and the plant is floriferous nearly to the base. Also hairs are hooked on the abaxial mid-rib of the leaves, a character only described for M. micrantha (see the Jepson Manual of California, 2nd ed.). This will key to M. arvensis in Ackerfield (2015). However, M. micrantha is not a possibility there. Distribution of collections of the two taxa (SEINet, 8 Dec 2019) show collections of M. micrantha in northeast Utah and southeast Wyoming, whereas collections of M. arvensis are much farther from Colorado.

The next closest thing to amabilis, under the hoof-beats theory, would be Phacelia crenulata. However, the calyx lobes are too narrow, and the fruit is too hairy (at least while young) to fit there.

Received advice from Andy Sanders that this is P. distans.
