Species: Lagophylla ramosissima
Encyclopedia of Puget Sound
Slender Hareleaf is an annual with simple or branched stems that are 1-6 dm high. The alternate, narrowly lance-shaped, entire-margined leaves lack petioles and are 1-8 cm long, becoming smaller upward. The foliage is densely covered with short, white hair, especially above. Short-stalked flower heads are borne in small, loose clusters at the tips of branches that arise from the axils of the upper leaves. Each head has a single series of 5 narrowly lance-shaped involucral bracts that are covered with long hairs and stalked glands, each enclosing a 3-lobed, pale yellow ray that is 2-6 mm long. Each of the 6 yellow disk flowers is enveloped by a scale. The achenes are shiny black and naked on top.
