About Psilocarphus oregonus Nutt.
Psilocarphus oregonus Nutt. is a small annual herb. It grows multiple stems only a few centimeters long, and these stems are covered in silvery or woolly fibers. Its leaves are linear or lance-shaped, and reach up to 2 centimeters in length. The plant's inflorescence is a small, spherical flower head that is only around half a centimeter wide. This flower head is a cluster of several tiny woolly disc flowers, surrounded by leaflike bracts but no phyllaries. Every tiny flower is covered by a scale that is densely woolly with long white fibers, which gives the developing flower head a cottony appearance.
