A genus of small shrubby plants in the legume family, native to California and related regions.
From Greek 'akmis' (point or sharp edge) and 'pone' (thread), referring to the needle-like or pointed appearance of the plant's parts.
Acmispon is a wildflower that's practically invisible until it blooms in spring with tiny yellow flowers—it's the kind of plant that only botanical enthusiasts notice, but it's crucial food for native California butterflies and bees.
