Draba californica
California draba is a tiny, hairy perennial herb of high alpine slopes in the Inyo and White Mountains, rarely over 10 cm tall. It is a wild alpine plant rather than a common garden subject, and it needs cold, open, well-drained conditions.
Draba californica is a species of flowering plant in the family Brassicaceae, known as the California draba.
This is an uncommon plant found at elevations over 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) in the Inyo Mountains of California and the nearby White Mountains of California and Nevada.
