'''''Baileya multiradiata''''' is a species of sun-loving wildflower native to southwestern [[North America]], especially the northern [[Mexico]], [[California]], and [[Southwestern United States]] deserts.
It is an annual or perennial clumping patch of silvery-green foliage which bears many tall, naked stems, each topped with a bright yellow marigoldlike flower. The bloom loses its [[Head (botany)|ray florets]] early, leaving behind a nodding stalk holding the disc florets where the seeds develop.
