Draba corrugata is a species of flowering plant in the mustard family known by the common name Southern California draba. It is native to the mountain ranges of southern California and Baja California, where it grows in rocky areas. This is a biennial or perennial herb forming a cushiony basal clump of leaves. Each leaf is 1 to 3 centimeters long and gray-green in a coat of coarse hairs. The erect inflorescence may bear over 100 mustardlike flowers with yellow petals each under half a centimeter in length. The fruit is an oval-shaped, twisted silique containing many seeds.
There are two varieties of this species. The rarer var. saxosa is known only from mountains in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties in California.
