Rayjacksonia aurea
Also called Houston Camphor Daisy, Houston Daisy
Rayjacksonia aurea is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common names Houston tansyaster and Houston camphor daisy. It is endemic to Texas in the United States, where it is known only from the Houston area. It is limited to Galveston and Harris Counties.
This plant grows on the Texas coastal prairie, especially on Mima mounds and in open areas such as fields and pastures. It prefers sandy soils or loams, and typically grows in areas that are seasonally wet or are poorly drained. The plant may occur with other rare local endemics, such as Texas windmill grass and prairie dawn.
