Plagiobothrys chorisianus is a species of flowering plant in the borage family known by the common name artist's popcornflower. It is endemic to California , where it can be found in and around the San Francisco Bay Area and parts of the coastline to the south.
It is a resident of chaparral, coastal scrub and grassland habitat. It is an annual herb with a spreading or erect stem 10 to 40 centimeters (4 to 16 inches) in length. The leaves along the stem are 3 to 7 centimeters (1 1⁄4 to 2 3⁄4 inches) long and coated in rough hairs. The inflorescence is a series of tiny flowers, each on a pedicel up to one centimeter (1⁄2 inch) in length.
