Eschscholzia caespitosa is a species of poppy known by the common names tufted poppy and collarless California poppy. It is native to western North America from Oregon to Baja California where it is a member of the chaparral plant community. This is an annual herb which is quite similar in appearance to its relative, the California poppy. It produces patches of foliage made up of several leaflets per leaf and thin, erect stems up to 30 centimeters in height. The poppy flower has orange to yellow petals each one to two and a half centimeters long. The fruit is a cylindrical capsule 4 to 8 centimeters long containing tiny dark netted seeds.
