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. It has not been found in the United States although one of the Mexican populations is less than 10 km (6+14 miles) south of the international border.[3]

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.[4]
