|phenology=Flowering early–late spring.
|habitat=Open, grassy areas in grasslands, sand dunes, oak and pine woodlands
|elevation=0-1000 m
|distribution=Calif.
|discussion=<p>Depauperate plants of this species may be confused with Meconella, but Hesperomecon can be distinguished by its linear, pilose leaves and ovoid capsules. Robust plants may be confused with Platystemon, but the strictly 3-carpellate, strongly syncarpous gynoecium and valvate capsules of Hesperomecon are always diagnostic.</p>
