This species is considered a desert relic type that, along with a small group of other plant species, forms the base of the unique plant community found at Antioch Dunes. These dunes were declared critical habitat for both this wallflower and the rare Antioch Dunes evening-primrose (Oenothera deltoides ssp. howellii, also part of the National Collection) in the late 1970’s to protect them from potentially harmful activities. Agricultural and industrial development has destroyed 90% of the original 500 acres of the Antioch Dunes. (USFWS 1978) The yellow and orange flowers of this species are so beautiful that it was chosen to be one of four native wildflowers depicted on a set of stamps released in 1979. (USFWS 1979c)
