Amsinckia tessellata is a species of fiddleneck known by the common names bristly fiddleneck,[1] tessellate fiddleneck,[2] checker fiddleneck, and devil's lettuce.
The plant is native to dry regions of western North America, more specifically eastern Washington and Idaho, much of California and the Great Basin, to southwest New Mexico (U.S.) and northwest Sonora and Baja California in Mexico, usually below 6,000 feet (1,800 m) elevation.[1][3][4]
