About Achyrachaena mollis S.Schauer
Achyrachaena mollis is a flowering plant that grows to roughly one foot tall on a strong, straight stem. A large, rounded bud forms at the top of the stem, which opens into a spherical cluster of flowers. Its actual flowers are small, yellow, and nearly hidden behind the plant's prominent fruits. These fruits extend shiny bright white scales that look like long rectangular flower petals. The silky white scales catch wind to disperse the plant's single-seeded fruits.
