Horkelia marinensis—Point Reyes horkelia. The species is included in the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants on list 1B.2 (rare, threatened, or endangered in CA and elsewhere). The Flora of North America states there are three distinct populations; The first near Fort Bragg and Rockport in Mendocino County, the second at Point Reyes in Marin County, and the third in Santa Cruz County. The Jepson e-Flora combines the last two populations. The Flora of North America also says, "Horkelia marinensis is by far the most aromatic member of the genus; the odor, which has been compared to that of a beehive, often can be perceived even before the plants are located, especially on sunny days. Plants do relatively well in cultivation, forming spreading mats with flowers that are strongly attractive to both native bees and honeybees." Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden location in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
