This plant with the interesting leaf that surrounds its stem was photographed in Victoria. The plant has other, more conventional, leaves on the stems that don't support a flower. The species has quite a variation in the size and colour of the flower. The name comes from the California gold rush because the miners apparently ate this plant. Its leaves and stem are supposed to taste similar to lettuce.
