Accounts of the Gnome Plant or Cone Plant (Hemitomes congestum) often characterize it as being either rare or uncommon.

It's also small, usually growing about one-half inch above the ground in a shallow, cup like, cluster of tiny flowers.

It's a West Coast species that grows in forested ares from British Columbia, south through California.
