"Amsinckia lycopsoides" is a species of fiddleneck known by the common name tarweed fiddleneck. It is one of the more common species of fiddleneck. It is native to much of western North America from California to British Columbia, and it is native or an introduced species far beyond this region, to Alaska, Texas, and New England. It can be found in a wide variety of habitats, including disturbed areas. This is a bristly annual herb similar in appearance to other fiddlenecks. Its coiled inflorescence contains yellow flowers about a centimeter long and nearly the same in width, with a five-lobed corolla closed at the mouth by the bulges in the lobes.
