Microseris bigelovii
Also called Coast Microseris
Microseris bigelovii is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name coastal silverpuffs. It is native to the west coast of North America, where its range extends from the southern tip of Vancouver Island to the northern coast of California.
Its distribution is scattered, and the northernmost populations are genetically distinct from the southernmost. In British Columbia there are five or six occurrences known to remain, in Washington the single known occurrence has probably been extirpated, and the Oregon populations are imperiled. The plant grows in rocky coastline habitats.
