Haploesthes greggii
Haploesthes greggii, common name false broomweed, is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It grows in northeastern Mexico and in the south-central and southwestern United States.
The genus name is sometimes spelled Haploësthes, with two dots over the first e to indicate that the o and the e are to be pronounced in separate syllables. This is optional; either spelling is equally acceptable.
Haploesthes greggii is a perennial herb or subshrub up to tall, somewhat succulent. Leaves are very narrow, sometimes thread-like. The plant produces numerous yellow flower heads in flat-topped arrays. Each head has 3–6 ray flowers and 18-100 disc flowers.
