Mentzelia springeri is a species of flowering plant in the family Loasaceae known by the common name Santa Fe blazingstar.

[1] This perennial herb forms a mound of branching stems, giving it a bushy look.

[1] This plant grows on rock outcrops in substrates of pumice and ash.

Other plants in the habitat include Apache plume, rubber rabbitbrush, brownplume wirelettuce, sticky gilia, and gypsum phacelia.

Soil disturbance is not necessarily detrimental to the plant; it often grows along roads cut through the pumice.
