Raillardella scaposa
Also called Greenleaf Raillardella
Stem raillardella is a small rhizomatous perennial daisy from the Sierra Nevada, western Nevada and southern Cascades, forming a clump of basal leaves with short flower stalks. It is a wild native rather than a common garden plant, and it tolerates a range of moisture and light conditions in its native habitat.
Raillardella scaposa is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name stem raillardella. It is native to the Sierra Nevada of California and western Nevada and parts of the southern Cascade Range in Oregon, where it grows in varying habitat types, from wet to dry and exposed to shaded. It is a rhizomatous perennial herb growing in a clump of rosetted basal leaves. The leaves are linear to lance-shaped, up to 16 centimeters long, and glandular. The plant produces an inflorescence just a few centimeters to half a meter tall consisting of flower heads which are cylindrical to hemispheric in shape. Each head contains many yellow to orange disc florets and sometimes a few ray florets. The fruit is a long, narrow achene 1 to 2 centimeters in length including its pappus of plumelike bristles.
