''Clarkia similis'' is a species of flowering plant in the
evening primrose family known by the common name Ramona clarkia. It is
endemic to
California, where it is found in the coastal hills and mountains of the southwestern part of the state. It is an annual herb that grows erect, approaching a meter in maximum height. The
inflorescence bears open flowers and closed, hanging flower buds. The
sepals remain fused as the petals bloom from one side. The petals are less than a centimeter long and oval to diamond in shape. They are pale pink with white near the bases, and sometimes purple-speckled.
