There are a good many kinds of Eriophyllum, common and very variable, woolly plants.
Woolly Yellow Daisy
Eriophýllum lanàtum
Yellow
Spring, summer
Cal., Oreg., Wash.
This is a handsome kind, in favorable situations forming large conspicuous clumps, from one to two feet high, covered with bright golden flowers, each over an inch across. The leaves are dull green on the upper side, but the under side and the buds and stems are all covered with fine white down. The leaves are variable in form, sometimes neither lobed nor toothed, and sometimes cut into narrow toothed divisions. This has a variety of forms and grows on hillsides.
Eriophyllum
Eriophýllum caespitòsum var. integrifòlium
Yellow
Summer
Northwest, etc.
This forms low tufts of pale gray downy foliage, contrasting well with the bright yellow flower-heads, each about an inch across. This grows around Yosemite and in other mountain places, as far east as Wyoming, and has a variety of forms.
Golden Yarrow
Eriophýllum confertiflòrum
Yellow
Summer
California
This has small flowers, but it forms such large clumps that the effect of the golden-yellow clusters is handsome and very conspicuous, on dry hills and mountains and along roadsides in summer. It is woody below, from one to two feet high, and the leaves are more or less woolly. The variety discoídeum has no rays.
There are many kinds of Anthemis, natives of Europe, Asia, and Africa.
