Jepsonia parryi is an uncommon species of flowering plant in the
saxifrage family known by the common names
coast jepsonia and
Parry's jepsonia. It is native to the coast and inland hills of southern
California and
Baja California. This is a small perennial herb producing usually only a single leaf from an unbranched
caudex. The leaf is round or kidney-shaped and has a ruffled, lobed edge. The plant flowers in fall, producing a naked brown
peduncle holding a small
inflorescence of fewer than four flowers. The tiny flower has purplish-veined petals each about half a centimeter long. The fruit is a brown-striped green or tan capsule.
