Clarkia breweri | |
Clarkia breweri is a species of wildflower known by the common names fairy fans and Brewer's clarkia. [1] This rare plant is endemic to California, where it is known from only seven counties in the central part of the state. [2] It produces short stems under 20 centimeters (8 in.) in height and sparse, narrow leaves. The distinctive flowers have four pink to lavender petals, each about 2 centimeters long and wide, with 3 odd lobes, the middle lobe being long and spoon-shaped.
Typical habitat is shale or serpentine scree.
