Late bloomer. Yellow
tubular flowers, some have small, red spots. Found in wet areas.
The Maidu used it for food and medicine; butterflies used it for food.
Notes: It is usually found near the creek just
beyond the Redbud tree. Can be
found in surrounding areas if watery conditions are right. The Maidu ate
slightly bitter leaves and stems, and crushed leaves for a poultice and
application for rope burns. Sierra
Checkerspot and other butterfly caterpillars use it for food.
