About

Heterotheca hartmanii is a species of goldenaster that was only scientifically described and named in 2020 and commonly called the aspen goldenaster or for its association with that biome. It mostly grows in northwest Colorado with a few occurrences in southwest Wyoming. It is very similar to Heterotheca pedunculata which grows in similar environments in the desert southwest of the United States.

Where it grows

This plant is not widespread, only found in nine counties in Colorado: Moffat, Routt, Jackson, Rio Blanco, Garfield, Grand, Eagle, Summit, and Lake. The type specimen was collected in Carbon County, Wyoming, but it has not yet been reported growing in any other Wyoming counties.
