California suncup is native to southern California and Baja California, where it grows in several types of plant community along the coast and in the coastal hills and mountain ranges. It is a species of flowering plant in the evening primrose family. This is a hairy annual or short-lived perennial herb spreading from a basal rosette, with stems reaching up to 80 centimeters long. Leaves are lance-shaped to narrowly arrowhead-shaped and sometimes toothed, and 1 to 12 centimeters in length. Toward the end of the spreading stems are nodding flower clusters of flowers, each flower with four bright yellow petals dotted with red at their bases. At the center are stamens and a protruding, nearly spherical stigma. The fruit is a straight or slightly coiled capsule up to 4 centimeters long.
California suncup原產於南加州和下加利福尼亞州，生長在沿海和沿海丘陵及山脈的多種植物群中。它是月見草科的一種開花植物。這是一種有毛的一年生或短命的多年生草本植物，從基部蓮座叢中蔓延開來，莖長可達80公分。葉子是矛狀至窄箭頭狀，有時呈鋸齒狀，長1至12公分。在蔓延的莖的末端是點頭的花簇，每朵花都有四個亮黃色的花瓣，花瓣的底部點綴著紅色。中心是雄蕊和突出的近球形柱頭。果實是直的或略微捲曲的蒴果，最長可達4公分。
