Parry's jepsonia

Even in its native habitat of southern/Baja California, parry's jepsonia (Jepsonia parryi) is an uncommon plant. The small white flowers, which bloom in clusters of four or fewer, appear in autumn, followed by brown-striped fruits that resemble tan or green capsules. For the rest of the year, it is most easily identified by its ruffled, kidney-shaped leaves.
