About

Hymenoxys vaseyi is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family Asteraceae. It is native to the Southwestern United States. The specific epithet vaseyi honors the American plant collector George Richard Vasey (not to be confused with his father George Vasey) who made extensive collections in the region in 1880 and 1881. The species is commonly called Vasey's rubberweed.

Where it grows

Hymenoxys vaseyi grows in open areas, generally at the edges of forests at elevations of 2,100–2,800 meters (6,900–9,200 ft). It is native to the southwestern United States, primarily in New Mexico with a few populations in extreme western Texas (El Paso County).
