Hazardia vernicosa is a Mexican species of shrub in the family Asteraceae. It has been found only in the state of Baja California in northwestern Mexico, specifically near El Rosario. [3] It has not been found in the United States although one of the Mexican populations is less than 10 km (6+1⁄4 miles) south of the international border. [4]
Hazardia vernicosa is a branching subshrub up to 45 cm (18 in) tall with several stems arising from a woody underground caudex. The plant produces numerous flower heads each head with 3-5 yellow disc flowers plus 3-5 ray flowers. [5]
