Caulanthus cooperi
Cooper's wild cabbage is a native annual wildflower of the cabbage family found in open, sandy desert habitats of the southwestern US and Baja California. It is grown mainly for native plantings and study rather than as a garden crop, and it needs sun, sharp drainage and little water.
