Blennosperma nanum is an annual plant in the daisy family native to California. It has small yellow flower heads with a paler yellow than many other daisy-like flowers, and the ring of stamens ooze a viscous white juice containing the pollen. It is distributed throughout the lower elevations in California from Shasta County to San Diego County, but nowhere is it particularly abundant. It is a resident of vernal pool floral communities. There are two subspecies of the plant, Blennosperma nanum var. robustum, which is very rare and is only found in Point Reyes, and Blennosperma nanum var. nanum, which is much more common. Common names include glue-seed, common stickyseed, and yellow carpet.
