This high elevation member of the sunflower family (Asteraceae) is Rocky Mountain pussytoes (Antennaria media). It grows throughout western North America. It can be distinguished from other pussytoes by the dark distal portions of the phyllaries. For more info about Rocky Mountain pussytoes, click here.
This blog features a plant a day as I try to learn all the plants in the area where I live, in the central Great Basin. There are more than 1,000 plants known in this area, so it may take a few years!
Eventually I hope to have a photo for every plant listed in the Snake Range Key (link coming soon).
