The monotypic genus '''''Dedeckera''''' contains the single species '''''Dedeckera eurekensis''''', a plant known by the common name '''July gold''' which is [[Endemism|endemic]] to California. It is found in the mountains east and south of the [[Sierra Nevada (U.S.)|Sierra Nevada]], especially the [[Inyo Mountains|Inyo]] and [[White Mountains (California)|White Mountains]]. <br />
<br />
July gold is a member of the [[Polygonaceae|buckwheat family]]. It is a matting shrub which bears small fleshy leaves and tiny yellowish flowers. It is a plant of the dry mountainous scrub, where it grows on gritty limestone cliffs. July gold is a rare plant, and its populations are scattered due to its specific niche habitat. It is also a poor reproducer; only about 1% of its flower [[ovule]]s produce viable seed. These factors make it a species of concern.<br />
<br />
The genus was named for California botanist [[Mary C. DeDecker]].<br />
