|phenology=Flowering and fruiting mid Mar–mid Aug.
|habitat=Drying margins of seasonally inundated sites (vernal pools, ditches), sometimes alkaline
|elevation=10–2500 m
|distribution=Alta.;B.C.;Sask.;Calif.;Idaho;Mont.;Nev.;Oreg.;Utah;Wash.;Wyo.;Mexico (Baja California);South America (Argentina;Chile).
|discussion=<p>Variety brevissimus occupies nearly the full range of the genus (uncommon west of the Cascade Range); some occurrences toward the northeast appear to be recent introductions.</p><!--
--><p>Plants named <i>Psilocarphus</i> globiferus are superficially somewhat intermediate between <i>P. brevissimus</i> and <i>P. tenellus</i>, as are populations from southern California mountains with leaves somewhat shorter, broader, and less hairy than typical <i>P. brevissimus</i>.</p>
