Hazardia stenolepis, the serpentine bristleweed,[2] is a North American species of shrub in the daisy family. It has been found only in California in the western United States, and in Baja California in northwestern Mexico.[3][4]

Hazardia stenolepis is a shrub up to 100 cm (39 in) tall. The plant produces numerous flower heads in a dense, elongated array at the top of the plant. Each head contains 8-10 disc flowers but no ray flowers. The species sometimes grows on serpentine soils.[5]
