[Wikipedia] Range, Habitat, Homoploid Hybrid Speciation: It is native to the coastal hills and ranges of southern California and Baja California, where it grows in many types of open habitat. It evolved as a hybrid of Stephanomeria exigua and S. virgata.[3] Furthermore, it is thought to be the result of homoploid hybrid speciation, which is uncommon. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
