Stillingia paucidentata, commonly known as Mojave toothleaf, is a perennial herb native to the Mojave Desert in southeastern California and potentially extending into western Arizona. It thrives in its native habitat of sandy washes and dry slopes within desert scrub communities. This plant typically flowers from March to May, with fruiting occurring in May and June. Mojave toothleaf is characterized by its narrow, toothed leaves and inconspicuous yellow-green flowers that are not particularly showy. However, it is valued for its ability to adapt to arid conditions and its role in desert ecology as a native species.

Mojave toothleaf is not commonly cultivated but may be of interest for xeriscaping or natural desert landscaping due to its low water requirements and ability to thrive in poor, well-drained sandy soils. It prefers full sun exposure and is tolerant of the extreme temperatures found in desert environments. While not widely used, it can contribute to the biodiversity of a garden designed with native plants and water conservation in mind. There are no popular garden cultivars of this species, and it is generally free from major diseases or pests. However, its potential to spread outside of its native range should be monitored.
