Phlox hirsuta, also known as the Yreka phlox or hairy phlox, is a small flowering plant that is native to Siskiyou County, California. It is named after the city of Yreka and is the official city flower. The plant grows up to six inches tall and has thick, hairy stems. Its flowers are pink or purple and bloom from April to June. Yreka phlox is often found near another species of phlox, but can be distinguished by its lack of deep notches in its petals. It was first discovered in 1876 by Edward Lee Greene and is now recognized as a separate species by most biologists. In 2009, it was named the official city flower of Yreka. However, due to its limited distribution and threats from urbanization and non-native species, Yreka phlox is considered endangered and is protected by state and federal agencies. A recovery plan has been drafted to protect the species and is dedicated to the memory of Larry G. Bacon, a local leader in conservation efforts.
