This bright member of the Evening Primrose Family (Onagraceae) can be distinguished by its yellow flowers and dandelion-like leaves. It sports the common names yellow evening primrose and dandelion-like evening primrose (Oenothera flava). Easy names to remember. And flava is Latin for yellow.
This species likes to grow in wet areas, and I found it in a place that is periodially flooded. It grows throughout the western U.S.
