Along the roads this yellow-flowered shrubby-looking plant is growing heartily. It's another member of the Sunflower Family (Asteraceae), which has lots of late-summer bloomers. It's very easy to identify if you touch it, because it's sticky. Its name is curlycup gumweed (Grindelia squarrosa).
The flowers themselves aren't sticky, but the buds, stems, and leaves are.For more information about curlycup gumweed, click here.
