coast gum plantGrindelia stricta
Asteraceae
What struck me with this plant was how unopened buds exuded a shiny milky substance.
ps 05/09/10 - Originally I had this labeled as an unknown. I then looked for "gum plant" online because that's what some folks from Elkhorn called it. My first ID of this unknown was Grindelia robusta and was incorrect. Thanks to a plant list for Elkhorn Slough, I trust the new ID above.
