    Hi there, Having trouble identifying this ground-hugging spreading wild plant with lovely clusters of tiny white & purple flowers (borage family?). 3 plants seen in a dry field in southern Marin County, CA. I have never seen this plant anywhere locally before.

    Answer

    Dear greenlore, good afternoon. I agree with you that this is a member of the Boraginaceae. However, you are a long way from my region of expertise. I cannot assist you with this specific question (sorry). This website is dedicated to wild plants of New England. I'm always happy to look, but many from your region will be unknown to me. Best wishes.
