Found in New England, North Dakota, New Mexico, and along the southern coast from Louisiana to Florida, onosmodium prefers dry, open woodlands or prairies filled with sandy soil. Dry, mountainous soils are also a good habitat for the grass. Optimum growth of onosmodium occurs in areas with light to moderate grazing pressure. False Gromwell is a member of the Boraginaceae family, named for its unpleasant odor.
The perennial herb features curly yellow-white five-petaled flowers that bloom from June to July. These crowded, half-inch (one and a half centimeters) long, residing in the upper third of the plant, merge with a tubular central corolla. Within the corolla, the long styles, or female reproductive organs, protrude like a cluster of needles.
Elongated leaves, graduated in length, sprout from the thick, bristly, thin stem. Some onosmodium plants appear to be shrubs. This is due to the presence of dead and living stems coming out of the brown root. During the winter, after the plant freezes, it bears white nuts that remain throughout the winter. The entire bristle-covered plant can grow up to three to four feet (.9 to 1.2 meters) tall.
