It is endemic to Southern California where it is found along the coast, inland hills, and some Transverse Ranges and Peninsular Ranges.[2][1] It is a member of the chaparral, grasslands, and lower montane coniferous forest plant communities.[1][2]
The species is named in honor of American botanist Sara Plummer Lemmon (1836 – 1923).[3]

They are hairy inside and sometimes fringed with hairs. The center contains large whitish or yellowish anthers.[4] Flowers are present from May to July.[1][2]
