Sea Dahlia

Leptosyne maritima, the sea dahlia, is a species of tickseed in the sunflower family.

Leptosyne maritima is native to Southern California and Baja California, primarily in coastal California chaparral and woodlands habitats. It grows on mainland ocean bluffs in San Diego County and in northern Baja California, with a few isolated populations reported from just west of Malibu in Los Angeles County, Santa Cruz Island in Santa Barbara County, and Stoddard Canyon north of Rancho Cucamonga in extreme southwestern San Bernardino County.
