Mustard Family Douglas' Wallflower March-July Open Grasslands |
Brassicaceae Erysimum capitatum "Greek, to help for the medical uses" "Head, referring to the tightly clustered flowers" |
The tall orange flower stalks make this plant stand out. It is uncommon in the park as it is at the southern end of its range. This picture was taken on Willow Ridge above the East Fork and the plant is found in the eastern part of the park also. The 2-4"-tall flower head stands on a 12-18" stalk.
