Despite the common name Bastard
Toadflax, Comandra umbellata is neither a noxious weed nor closely related
to Dalmatian or Yellow Toadflax. Bastard Toadflax is a native plant, blooming
in spring and early summer on dry sites. What appear to be white petals are actually
sepals, and the flower has no true petals. The plants are usually 3" to 12"
tall.
