About Lasthenia fremontii (Torr. ex A.Gray) Greene
Lasthenia fremontii is an annual herb that reaches a maximum height of close to 35 centimeters. Its hairy stem can be either branched or unbranched, and it bears linear or few-lobed leaves that grow up to around 6 centimeters long. Inflorescences of flower heads sit atop the stems, and these flower heads have hairy phyllaries. Each flower head contains numerous tufted yellow disc florets, surrounded by a fringe of small yellow, or occasionally white, ray florets. The fruit produced is a hairy, club-shaped achene that is less than 2 millimeters long.
