Notes:
Any help you guys would have for either specimen shown would be useful! I was thinking the one on the left looks like part of the Buckwheat/ Eriogonum family, but the hairiness is throwing me off. It was found in the San Jacinto mountains of California along a sesonally flooded stream bed (in early September, during a dry period) at about 5,000 feet. The fern-like plant was found at a lower elevation, also in the San Jacintos. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you- I’m with you on the bristly bird’s beak. The bird’s foot fern ID works for me too because 1) it’s thematic and 2)it’s gotta be close.

Without the whole plants and their leaves, plus these images are not clear enough to be certain . I am taking a stab and wildly guessing only. 1- Maybe Bristly bird’s beak (Cordylanthus rigidus ssp. setigerus)? 2- Maybe in the Pallaea genus. This might be Pellaea mucronata; Bird’s-foot Fern aka Birdfoot Cliffbrake.
