About Hulsea nana A.Gray

Hulsea nana is a small perennial herb that grows in clumps of hairy foliage, with stout stems that rarely grow taller than 20 centimeters (6 inches). Its leaves are 2 to 6 centimeters (0.4 to 2.4 inches) long, with lobed edges and many glandular hairs. The stem usually produces a single sturdy flower head, which has layers of hairy to woolly phyllaries. The center of the flower head is filled with golden disc florets, and a ring of golden ray florets lines the outer edge; each ray floret is around 1 centimeter (0.4 inches) long.
