There is a sole species of erect to spreading basally branched, hairy annual in this genus. They occur from grasslands, desert margins, and chaparral in Western USA. It has almost stalkless, stem clasping, smooth edged, 3″ gray-green leaves, sometimes borne in small whorls. The leaves and young stems have a covering of fine hairs. It is grown for its short lived, 1″ diameter poppy like flowers, each with a central boss of flattened stamen filaments, borne in profusion where the climate is neither too hot nor too humid. Suitable for edging in an annual border and as massed plantings in a rock garden.<\/p>\n
