DESCRIPTION:
Tarweeds, which include several species in the sunflower family, occur throughout
California. All have sticky, heavily scented foliage. Mature plants are usually
about 1 to 1.5 feet (30 - 45 cm) high. Lower leaves are deeply lobed and lancelike.
Upper leaves are flattened against the stem, glandular and hairy. The petals
have three-toothed edges and may be yellow or white depending on species and
variable in number from 3 to many per flower. Shown here is three-rayed tarweed.
