Holocarpha is a small genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. The genus contains four species of tarweeds, which are all endemic to California. [1]
Holocarpha are glandular, aromatic annual herbs bearing yellow flowers. [2]
Plants with the same common name, but in a different genus include:
Holocarpha macradenia, commonly known as the Santa Cruz tarplant, is an endangered plant endemic to Northern California. Alternative common names for this plant are Santa Cruz tarweed or Santa Cruz sunflower.
Hemizonia is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae. They are known generally as tarweeds, although some tarweeds belong to other genera, such as Madia and Deinandra. Furthermore, Hemizonia is currently being revised; some species may be segregated into new genera.
Hooveria purpurea is a species of flowering plant related to the agaves known by the common name purple amole. This species of soap plant is endemic to California, where it grows in the Santa Lucia Range, in the Central Coast region. There are two varieties of this plant, and both are believed to be quite rare. It is a federally listed threatened species.
Hemizonia congesta, known by the common name hayfield tarweed, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae, native to western North America.
Deinandra is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Madieae within the family Asteraceae. Such a genus is not recognized as distinct by all authorities; its species are often treated as members of the genus Hemizonia.
Blepharizonia plumosa is a California species of tarweed known by the common name big tarweed. It is endemic to central California, where it grows in the Central Coast Ranges and adjacent sections of the southern San Francisco Bay Area and Central Valley, from southern Sonoma County south as far as San Luis Obispo County.

It is endemic to California, where it has been found primarily in Monterey, San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties. A few isolated populations have been reported from Kern and Merced Counties, but these are from urban areas and probably represent cultivated specimens.
