Description
Multi−branched perennial shrub, reaching 1–3 feet (0.30–0.91 m) in height. The branches are lined with dentate, triangular leaves a few centimeters long, that are light green, hairless and smooth in texture. The inflorescence is a solitary daisylike flower head 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) in diameter, on a short, leaved peduncle. The head has a center of many yellow disc florets surrounded by up to 12 yellow ray florets. The involucre consists of canescent, obtuse phyllaries. It blooms in spring. The fruit is an achene about half a centimeter long, usually lacking a pappus. The fruits have ciliate margins.
Range & habitat
The plant is native to Baja California Sur, México, where it is known only from one small, remote arroyo in the Sierra Santa Clara on the Vizcaino Peninsula.
