About Stephanomeria tenuifolia (Torr.) H.M.Hall
Stephanomeria tenuifolia, commonly known as narrow-leaved wire-lettuce or narrow leaved stephanomeria, is a perennial species in the Asteraceae plant family. This species grows in the Great Basin region of the western United States. It produces five ray flowers, which makes it resemble a single single-family flower from a different plant family. Narrow leaved stephanomeria grows on plains and dry slopes, within sagebrush steppe, mixed conifer, and mountain shrub communities across the Great Basin. In California, it can be found in a wider range of plant communities: sagebrush scrub, Northern juniper woodland, yellow pine forest, red fir forest, lodgepole forest, and subalpine forest.
