Spartium Striatum

Spartium striatum is a flowering plant native to the western coast of the United States. It is commonly known as the narrowleaf hawksbeard due to its distinctive yellow flower heads and narrow leaves. This species thrives in coastal environments and is often found in sandy or gravelly soils. It plays an important role in local ecosystems by providing nectar for pollinators. Despite its beauty, it is also considered an invasive species in some regions.
