Camissonia Pusilla
''Camissonia'', sometimes commonly known as sun cup or sundrop, is a genus of annual and perennial plants in the evening primrose family Onagraceae. A total of 12 species are known, nearly all from western North America, especially in the California Floristic Province, but also one from South America. Previous circumscriptions of the genus had recognized up to 62 species before it was split among other closely related genera.Wagner WL, PC Hoch, and PH Raven. 2007Revised classification of the Onagraceae ''Systematic Botany Monographs'', 83: 1-240. The flowers generally open at dawn and are yellow. They are usually cup-shaped, thus the common name. Formerly included in ''Oenothera'', the species of ''Camissonia'' are distinguished by having a club- or head-shaped carpel, stigma, instead of the 4-part-divided stigma of ''Oenothera'' or ''Clarkia''. ''Camissonia'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including ''Schinia, Schinia cupes'' and ''Sch ...

Camissonia Benitensis
''Camissonia benitensis'' is a species of Onagraceae, evening primrose known by the common names San Benito suncup and San Benito evening primrose.

Most of the habitat of the species is associated with the New Idria Serpentine Mass, Laguna Mountain Serpentine Mass, Hepsedam Peak Serpentine Mass, Panther Peak Serpentine Mass, Mustang Ridge Serpentine Mass, and numerous smaller serpentine masses between. These masses are surrounded by non-serpe ...
