Nama californica
Also called California Nama
California fiddleleaf is a small, densely hairy annual that forms a low mat of prostrate stems in dry, sandy desert and valley habitat. It is a wild native rather than a garden plant, so care is mainly about mimicking sandy, dry conditions.
Nama californica is a species of flowering plant in the family Namaceae known by the common name California fiddleleaf. It is native to much of California and parts of western Nevada, where it grows in several types of dry and sandy habitat in desert, mountain, and valley areas.
