Kaibab Pussytoes

Antennaria rosulata Rydb.

Comments

Antennaria rosulata is easily recognizable by its silvery gray leaves, dense, humifuse growth form, and heads borne singly (R. J. Bayer 1987b). Its distribution is centered on the four corners area (Bayer and G. L. Stebbins 1987). It has probably contributed to the origins of some of the clones of A. rosea with low stature and low numbers of flowering heads that are found in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah.

Antennaria rosulata

provided by wikipedia EN

Antennaria rosulata is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Kaibab pussytoes or woolly pussytoes.[2] It is native to the Southwestern United States, in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.[3]

Antennaria rosulata is a very small plant rarely growing more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the ground, spreading by means of horizontal stems running along the surface of the ground. Flower heads are generally borne one at a time, with male and female flowers on separate plants. The foliage is covered with silvery-gray hairs. It generally grows at low altitudes in the mountains, very often with big sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata.[2]
