This asterlike flower is native to Oregon and northern California, where it grows in woodlands and dry forests. It is a taprooted perennial which rarely exceeds 30 centimeters in height. The dense foliage is made up of highly lobed and toothed leaves forming a wrinkled, bristly clump. It is often covered in sticky exudate. The inflorescence is a cluster of several flower heads, each made up of about 20 golden yellow ligules with toothed tips. The fruit is a small achene with a white pappus.
