Gratiola heterosepala is a species of flowering plant known by the common name Boggs Lake hedgehyssop. It is native to northern California, where it grows in mud and very shallow water, such as the edges of vernal pools. One occurrence of the plant has been noted in Oregon. This is a petite annual herb with reddish-green stems a few centimeters tall. The thin stems and small leaves are dotted with hairlike glands. The top of the stem is occupied by an inflorescence producing centimeter long tubular flowers which are yellow with white tips.
