Antheropeas wallacei (Woolly easterbonnets)
Bransford, W.D. and Dolphia

Antheropeas wallacei (Gray) Rydb.

Woolly easterbonnets, Woolly daisy

Asteraceae (Aster Family)

USDA Symbol: ANWA

USDA Native Status: Native to U.S.

A tiny, gray, woolly tufted plant with small golden-yellow flower heads.

In desert annuals, such as Woolly Daisy, seed production is vital for yearly survival. During drought plants often grow only about 1/4 (6 mm) before producing one head, ensuring at least some seeds. Under moister conditions plants repeatedly branch near the base, producing taller stems, many heads, and abundant seed.
