Caterpillar phacelia is an annual herb common locally on loose rocky hillsides. Style deeply cleft, corolla lavender, stem, inflorescence axis, and calyx long stiff-hairy. Leaves deeply lobed to compound.

@jrebman theres three adult plants and no seedlings. This population seems to be spreading via roots like the plants by the LA river but the large gaps between adults seen here aren't present by the LA river. The LA river plants are just a giant bush. Any chance these could be planted by indigenous people or the Spanish? This would be the first Eriodictyon the Spanish would have encountered coming up Baja.
