Plagiobothrys parishii is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common name Parish's popcornflower. It is endemic to California, where it is known only from Inyo, Mono, and San Bernardino Counties.[1] It can be found on mud flats and around desert springs[2] in Joshua tree woodland and scrub.[1]
It is an annual herb growing prostrate along the ground, the stems reaching up to about 30 centimeters long. It is coated in short hairs. The inflorescence is a series of tiny five-lobed flowers each about 4 millimeters wide. The flower is white, usually with yellow appendages at the center.[2]
