|discussion=<p>In the flora area, <i>Chaenactis artemisiifolia</i> is known from the Transverse and Peninsular ranges and seaward valleys of southwestern California. It is fire-adapted; its germination is significantly enhanced by exposure to biomass smoke (J. E. Keeley and C. J. Fotheringham 1998).</p><!--
--><p><i>Chaenactis</i> lacera Greene, the eighteenth species of the genus, is known from coastal portions (including islands) of the western Vizcaíno Desert in Baja California and Baja California Sur, Mexico. Forms of <i>C. artemisiifolia</i> sometimes resemble <i>C. lacera</i> in coastal southern California (P. Stockwell 1940), where <i>C. lacera</i> could eventually be introduced. Besides the key characteristics above, <i>C. lacera</i> differs from <i>C. artemisiifolia</i> by its largest leaf blades broadly ± elliptic, 2–3-pinnately lobed, ultimate lobes remote, recurved to retrorse, ± linear, involute (leaf blades appearing ± skeletal).</p>
