Brown-eyed primrose is found across western North America from the Pacific Northwest to northern Mexico. The upright stems of chylismia claviformis are topped by a one-sided cluster of nodding white or pale yellow flowers, brown at the center, hence the common name of brown-eyed primrose. There are eleven subspecies of chylismia claviformis, many with distinct ranges, differing in hairiness, petal color, glandularity, and leaf characteristics.
Brown-eyed primrose 它分佈於北美西部，從太平洋西北部到墨西哥北部。Chylismia claviformis 的直立莖頂部是一簇單側低垂的白色或淡黃色花朵，中心是棕色，因此俗稱棕眼報春花。有11個 chylismia claviformis 亞種，它們有不同的分佈範圍，在多毛的性質、花瓣顏色、顆粒和葉片特徵方面各不相同。
