About Antennaria lanata (Hook.) Greene
Antennaria lanata (Hook.) Greene, commonly called woolly pussytoes, is a North American flowering plant species that belongs to the Asteraceae family. It is native to western Canada, specifically the provinces of Alberta and British Columbia, as well as the northwestern United States, including Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and the extreme northern part of California’s Del Norte and Trinity Counties. This is a small herbaceous plant that reaches a maximum height of 20 centimeters, or 8 inches. Its leaves are covered in thick white hairs that give them a wool-like appearance. The species is dioecious, so male and female flowers grow on separate individual plants. It typically grows in protected alpine and subalpine locations within mountainous regions.
