aka Woolly Yellow Daisy, Woolly Sunflower, Common Woolly Sunflower, Woolly Eriophyllum. Any doubt this plant is “woolly?” All common names and both scientific names declare woolliness. This subshrub (woody stems) with several branched stems grow to 4″ – 20″ (10 – 50 cm) tall. Flowerheads consist of a center of disk flowers and between five to thirteen bright yellow ray florets. Stems, leaves and the involucral bracts (under the flowerhead) are all covered with silky hairs. There are three varieties (var. integrifolium, var. lanatum, and var. leucophyllum) and without further investigation (better photos) it’s difficult to discern the variety of the subject specimen. Found in rocky and sandy soils at mid to high elevations. The plant was collected by Lewis and Clark on their return trip on June 6, 1806.
