The article offers information on Harwood's Woolly-star, or Eriastrum Harwoodii, a small desert annual endemic in California. The plant was first described by Thomas Craig, an undergraduate student at Pomona College in Claremont, California, as Gilia filifolia Nutt variety harwoodii. It thrives in sand hills in the deserts of San Bernardino, Riverside and San Diego counties. The species is usually the tallest and woolliest, white- or cream-flowered Eriastrum that can be found on sand dunes or areas with loose, semi-stabilized sand. |
