Polygala californica is also known as the Calfornia milkwort.

I thusfar can’t locate reports of any medicinal applications but assume the native people here probably used it for something.  A number of the Polygala species are used in medicine or as herbs in asian cultures.

It is still blooming right now (5 may) and has been for a few days which was when these images were taken.
