Tetraneuris scaposa
Also called Plains Yellow Four Nerve Daisy, Stemmy Four Nerved Daisy
Tetraneuris scaposa is a North American perennial daisy in the sunflower family, growing up to about 40 cm tall from a branching underground caudex with yellow flower heads. Grow it in full sun in lean, well-drained soil, as it tolerates heat and drought well.
Tetraneuris scaposa (common names stemmy four-nerve daisy and stemmy hymenoxys) is a North American species of flowering plant in the sunflower family. It is native to the southwestern and south-central United States (Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, and Colorado) and northern Mexico (Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, San Luis Potosí, and Zacatecas).
Tetraneuris scaposa is a perennial herb up to 40 cm (16 inches) tall. It forms a branching underground caudex sometimes producing as many as 100 above-ground stems. Leaves are concentrated low on the stem, close to the ground. Flower heads can either be present individually one per stem, or multiply in tight clumps. Each head has 12–26 ray flowers surrounding 25–180 disc flowers.
The Zuni people use an infusion of it as an eyewash. The Zuni believe that this eyewash is not for people with a "bad heart".
