Jensia rammii is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Ramm's madia. It is endemic to California , where it is limited to the northern slopes of the Sierra Nevada and its foothills.[2]
Jensia rammii is an annual herb with a hairy, glandular, branching stem up to 60 centimeters (2 feet) tall. The inflorescence produces flower heads on long peduncles. The head has 5-12 yellow ray florets up to a centimeter (0.4 inches) long with lobed tips. The 16–65 yellow disc florets at the center have black anthers. The fruit is an achene a few millimeters long.[3][4]
