Rumfordia connata is a species of flowering plant in the Millerieae tribe of the composite family commonly known as the Cape rumfordia. A conspicuous yellow-flowered shrubby perennial growing to 2 metres (6.6 ft) high, this species is endemic to the high elevations of the Sierra de la Laguna mountains of Baja California Sur where it is uncommonly found. Rumfordia connata was first discovered and later described by Townshend Stith Brandegee in 1892.
Rumfordia connata is endemic to the high elevations of the Sierra de la Laguna, the primary mountain range at the southern end of Baja California Sur, Mexico. It is usually found along streams and arroyos in the pine-oak woodland. The species is uncommon, but is conspicuous due to its large size and flowers.
