Erigeron inornatus Gray |
Erigeron inornatus is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name California rayless fleabane. It is native to the west coast of the United States, where it can be found in several plant communities, from chaparral to mountain forests. This wildflower is a perennial daisy variable in appearance, reaching anywhere from 10 centimeters to nearly a meter in height, with hairy or hairless foliage. The leaves extend all the way up the stem and are narrow and several centimeters long. Atop each branch of the stem is an inflorescence of at least five flower heads, each about a centimeter wide and flat-topped. They contain golden yellow to wispy white disc florets and no ray florets.
