Euthamia gymnospermoides (Great Plains goldentop or Texas goldentop) is a plant in the composite family. It is native primarily to the Central and Midwestern United States where it is found in prairies and sandy areas. [1]
It is a perennial that produces heads of yellow flowers in late summer. It is distinguished from the similar Euthamia graminifolia by having only one vein per leaf and larger flower heads. [2]
