It grows throughout Southern California to Texas and Mexico.[2] In the Mojave Desert, it grows in creosote bush scrub and Joshua tree woodlands.[2]

Growth pattern

It is a hairy, erect, annual plant growing between 2" and 12" tall.[2]

Leaves and stems

Its 1/2- to 3/4-inch-long leaves are attached to the stems without a little stem (petiole) at the bottom of the leaf (sessile).[2]

The 1/8-inch flower heads are surrounded by upper leaves of about the same length as the head.[2] Each head has tiny reddish-purple disk flowers with the outer 8–10 being all female.[2]

Fruits are tiny, flattened achenes with a ring of pappus bristles, falling off as a unit.[2]
