Smithiastrum prenanthoides, commonly known as the California harebell, is a perennial flowering plant in the Campanulaceae.[1][2] It was formerly classified as a member of either Campanula or Asyneuma and was re-split following the discovery that genera in the family are polyphyletic. S. prenanthoides belongs to one of several small genera in the Campanulaceae native to California and grows in montane coniferous forests.[3]
