Marked woollystar (Eriastrum signatum)

Marked woollystar

Also known as: Spotted woollystar

Marked woollystar is a herb that is native to California and can only be found there and in a couple of neighboring states. Since it grows in such arid conditions, it is unsurprising that this is a drought-tolerant species. The name woollystar derives from its star-shaped lilac flowers and the densely-haired wooly leaves.
