Stephanomeria tenuifolia
Also called Narrow Leaved Wirelettuce, Bush Wire Lettuce, Narrow Leaf Wirelettuce, Narrow Leaved Rush Pink, Narrow Leaved Stephanomeria, Narrow Leaved Wire Lettuce, Narrowleaf Skeletonplant
Stephanomeria tenuifolia, the narrow-leaved wire-lettuce or narrow leaved stephanomeria, is a perennial plant in the family Asteraceae that grows in the Great Basin of the western United States. It has five ray flowers that give it the appearance of being petals of a single flower of a plant in another plant family.
Narrow leaved stephanomeria grows in the plains and dry slopes in sagebrush steppe, mixed conifer, and mountain shrub communities in the Great Basin. In California it can be found in sagebrush scrub, Northern juniper woodland, yellow pine forest, red fir forest, lodgepole forest, and subalpine forest plant communities.
