About Hulsea mexicana Rydb.

Hulsea mexicana Rydb. is an annual or biennial herb that can sometimes grow up to 100 cm (39 inches) tall. Most of its leaves grow along the stem, rather than forming a clustered rosette at the base. A single plant typically produces 3 to 5 flower heads. Each flower head holds 20 to 35 ray flowers, which surround a large number of very small disc flowers.
