Chloropyron molle
Soft bird's beak is a small annual native to salt marshes in western California, with leafy stems and small two-lipped flowers. It is a rare, wetland plant rather than a garden subject, so care is mostly about keeping soil moist and saline-tolerant conditions.
Chloropyron molle is a species of flowering plant in the family Orobanchaceae.
It is endemic to California, where it is known in coastal and inland salt marshes in the Central Valley, particularly the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta.
