About

Layia leucopappa is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Comanche Point tidytips, or Comanche Point layia.

Where it grows

The annual wildflower is endemic to California, where it is known only from the Tehachapi Mountains of southern Kern County in the vicinity of Tejon Ranch. Its distribution once extended onto the floor of the Central Valley, but it was eliminated from the area as the valley land was claimed for agriculture.
