Guardiola diehlii is a very rare (quite possibly extinct) North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae, found only in the state of New Mexico in the southwestern United States.[2]

Guardiola diehlii is (was) an annual herb measuring up to 30 cm (1 ft) tall. Its leaves are long and narrow, measuring up to 5 cm (2 in) long. One plant will produce several flower heads in a flat-topped array. Each head contains only one white ray flower and 4 disc flowers.[2]
