Psilostrophe villosa
Psilostrophe villosa is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family. Its common names include woolly paperflower and hairy paperflower. It is a small, gray-woolly plant with clusters of yellow flower heads, native to the south-central United States, where it grows in grasslands on limestone, gypsum and caliche soils.
Psilostrophe villosa is native to the United States, where it has been recorded in Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. In the Trans-Pecos region of Texas it has been collected within about 10 kilometres (6 mi) of the Rio Grande, and the Flora of North America suggests it probably also occurs in Mexico. It grows in grasslands on limestone and gypsum soils and on caliche, at elevations of 300–900 metres (1,000–3,000 ft). It flowers mainly from May to August, though flowering has been recorded from March to October.
