Layia chrysanthemoides
Layia munzii
Layia chrysanthemoides occurs from the western Great Valley to the coast in northern and central California. Molecular and morphologic data have indicated that L. chrysanthemoides is most closely related to L. fremontii (B. G. Baldwin, unpubl.); the two species are reportedly highly interfertile (natural hybrids have not been reported; J. Clausen 1951).

Of conservation concern.
Layia munzii occurs in the southern San Joaquin Valley and South Inner Coast Ranges. Populations are evident only in some wet years, when dense stands may be found, sometimes near L. platyglossa (natural hybrids have not been reported; artificial hybrids have reduced fertility; J. Clausen 1951).
