We saw a wonderful patch of wallflowers (Erysimum sp.) at Point Reyes last week (29 March 2019). I'm hoping someone might be able to assist with the identification.
These plants were growing along coastal bluffs in very sandy soil. Many of the surrounding plants were species I associate with older dune communities.
Is this Coast Wallflower (Erysimum concinnum)? I've noticed this species is also known as Bluff Wallflower and Headland Wallflower. The other possibility would be San Francisco Wallflower (Erysimum franciscanum), but I don't think I looked at enough characteristics in the field to be able to identify which species this is.
If you can help, I'd love any feedback!
P.S. I think "concinnum" might mean "elegant" or "pleasing." Either would be appropriate for this beautiful spring wildflower!
