About Eulobus californicus Nutt.
Eulobus californicus Nutt. is an annual herb. It first grows a basal rosette of leaves, then sends up a slender, erect stem that can grow over 1.5 meters tall. The largest leaves grow in this ground-level rosette, while leaves attached to the stem are small and thin. The upper section of the stem forms an inflorescence, which holds widely spaced flowers on long pedicels. Each flower forms a cup from four bright yellow petals, which sometimes have red speckles near their bases. Four smaller, greenish sepals sit behind the petals, and these sepals curve backward against the pedicel. The fruit produced by this plant is a cylindrical capsule that measures 4 to 10 centimeters in length.
