Brandegee’s rock daisy in Baja California

Caption

Brandegee’s rock daisy (Perityle brandegeeana) is one of the most abundant annual wildflowers of low Sonoran desert habitats in the Vizcaino region of Baja California, where it may carpet miles of badlands for months at a time. The name honors Katherine Brandegee, a pioneering botanist and curator of the California Academy of Sciences herbarium.
