Stenotus acaulis is a species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common name stemless mock goldenweed.[1] It is native to the western United States, where it grows in rocky soils in sagebrush plateau and mountain habitats. It is a perennial herb usually forming a compact tuft or mat of hairless to hairy and sometimes glandular herbage. The linear to widely lance-shaped leaves are up to 8 or 10 centimeters long with rigid, hair-lined edges. The inflorescence is a solitary flower head or small cluster of a few heads. The flower head contains yellow disc florets and several yellow ray florets each about a centimeter long.
