Mentzelia laevicaulis
This was a 3-foot tall plant with thin whitish stems and star-shaped yellow flowers. The flower had 5 long narrow petals and many long stamens. A close-up of the leaves is on pic 5.
Spotted at the Ancient Lakes area near the Columbia River in central Washington State. The area is an oasis in the high desert region of central Washington.
Only grows in western North America.
