Camissonia strigulosa is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family known by the common name sandysoil suncup.[2][3][4]

The plant is native to California and Baja California, where it grows in sandy areas, such as beaches, mountain sandbars, and the Mojave Desert.

Description

The flower has four yellow petals a few millimeters long which may have red spots near the bases.

The fruit is a long, very thin podlike capsule containing tiny seeds.
