_Layia (Thomas Lay, naturalist in the Beechey voyage). Compositae. Annual herbs with yellow or white flowers in spring or early summer.
Leaves chiefly alternate, all entire or some, particularly the lower, pinnately toothed or lobed: flowers about 1-1 1/2in. across, and the rays distinctly 3-toothed; ray-flowers 8-20; disk-flowers fertile, their tubular corollas 5- toothed.—About 13 W. American species. The species described below are diffuse, much-branched and about a foot high. For general cultured they are probably inferior to Madia elegans, which has a similar habit and is distinguished by the blood-colored spot at the base of the rays. It is probable that for best results they should be started early indoors, and transplanted outdoors in May. Easy to grow.
