Pseudobahia peirsonii
Also called Tulare Psudobahia
San Joaquin adobe sunburst is a rare, federally threatened annual wildflower from California's San Joaquin Valley foothills, growing in heavy adobe clay soils. It is a wild species seldom grown in gardens, so it is best treated as a native plant for restoration rather than a cultivated ornamental.
Pseudobahia peirsonii is a rare species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names San Joaquin adobe sunburst and Tulare pseudobahia. It is endemic to California, where it is known from a few mostly small occurrences along the southeastern side of the San Joaquin Valley where it rises into the Sierra Nevada foothills. It grows in grassland and oak woodland habitat. It prefers heavy adobe clay soils. The plant became a federally listed threatened of the United States in 1997.
This species is an annual herb growing 20 to 70 centimeters tall. It has a thin coating of woolly hairs. The leaves are up to 6 centimeters long and are generally divided into a few leaflets which are subdivided into lobed segments.
