Eryngium racemosum
Also called Delta Coyote Thistle, Delta Button Celery
Delta eryngo is a rare, endangered California wetland perennial that spreads low along moist, seasonally flooded ground. It needs wet or flooded soil in its growing season, so it is hard to keep in ordinary gardens.
Eryngium racemosum is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Apiaceae known by the common name delta eryngo, or delta button celery.
It is endemic to California, where it is known from the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta region of the Central Valley up to the rise of the Sierra Nevada foothills. It is a plant of vernally wet and flooded areas near the waterways of the valley, habitat which has been altered and in some areas eliminated by human activity. It is also a member of the flora in the rare alkali sink habitat of the delta. The plant has no federal listing but it is listed as an endangered species on the California state level.
