Tetraneuris acaulis
Also called Butte Marigold, Stemless Four Nerved Daisy, Stemless Rubberweed, Stemless Hymenoxys
Tetraneuris acaulis is a North American species of flowering plants in the sunflower family. It is known by many common names in English including stemless four-nerve daisy, stemless hymenoxys, butte marigold, and stemless rubberweed.
This species is very widespread in the United States from Texas and California in the south to Idaho and North Dakota. It is found east of the Rocky Mountains on in the western part of the Great Plains in the northern panhandle of Texas and the westernmost counties of Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota. It is found throughout the Rocky Mountain states of Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado as well as almost all of New Mexico, but is only found in the southeast corner of Idaho. It also grows in the northern half of Arizona, the eastern half of Nevada, and the desert county of San Bernardino in California. In Canada it is found in the prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. In Saskatchewan a single colony of the plant, apparently not reproducing, is found on the Missouri Coteau 11–12 kilometers south of Mortlach. In Alberta it is found in the Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park.
Tetraneuris acaulis has been used as a traditional medicinal plant. The Hopi used a poultice of the plant to relieve hip and back pain in pregnant women, and to make a stimulating drink.
