About Isocoma pluriflora (Torr. & A.Gray) Greene
Isocoma pluriflora, commonly called southern jimmyweed or southern goldenbush, is a North American species of flowering perennial herb in the family Asteraceae. It grows in northern Mexico (Baja California Sur, Sonora, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León) and in the southwestern and south-central United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Texas). This plant grows 1–3.5 feet (0.30–1.07 m) tall. Its leaves are narrow and can reach up to 5 cm (2 inches) long. It produces numerous flower heads in a cluster at the top of the stem, with each head holding 8–21 yellow disc flowers and no ray flowers. The species is named pluriflora, meaning 'many flowered', for its 25–50 vertical, roughly parallel stalks that are each tipped with golden yellow flower heads.
