Navarretia atractyloides is a species of flowering plant in the phlox family known by the common name hollyleaf pincushionplant. It is native to the coastal mountain ranges of western North America from Oregon through California to Baja California, where it grows in open areas in local habitat types. It is similar to Navarretia hamata, but lacks the skunky scent of that species, can be more short-glandular than some of those plants, or have lighter blue pollen and indented corolla lobes around San Diego and Orange Counties. N. atractyloides is a hairy annual herb approaching 30 centimeters in height. The leaves are ovate or linear. The flower cluster is a head filled with spine-toothed, leaflike bracts. The flowers tucked amidst the bracts have purple-pinkish corolla lobes and yellow throats, or, in the southern end of the distribution especially, they have white or pinkish white corolla lobes, with reddish veining in their tubular throats or completely pale yellow throats. The flower is just under a centimeter long and has a five-lobed corolla.
