Eriophyllum lanatum, with the common names common woolly sunflower, Oregon sunshine and golden yarrow,[1] is a common, widespread, North American plant in the family Asteraceae.[2][3][4]

Description

Eriophyllum lanatum is a perennial herb growing from Шаблон:Convert in height, in well-branched clumps. Both the stems and leaves may be covered with a woolly gray hair, but some plants lack this. The leaves are Шаблон:Convert long,[1] linear on the upper stems, and slender and pinnately lobed on the lower stems.[4] The hairs conserve water by reflecting heat and reducing air movement across the leaf's surface.[4][1]

The flowers are yellow and composite, looking much like true sunflowers, and sometimes grow to about Шаблон:Convert wide.[1] Both the (8–12) ray and disk flowers are yellow,[1] with one flower head on each flowering stalk.[4][5] The flower heads have 6–14 rays, which are darker towards the base, and several disk flowers.[6] They bloom from May to August.[2][3] The seeds have scales at the tip.[1]

Taxonomy

The Lewis and Clark Expedition reportedly saw this plant growing above their camp on the Clearwater River (near present-day Kamiah, Idaho), and collected two specimens on 6 June 1806.Шаблон:Citation needed Botanist Frederick Traugott Pursh studied the plants collected on the expedition; his first classification and naming of the species, as Actinella lanata, was published in 1813.[7]

The common name "woolly sunflower" is often used to describe any member of the genus Eriophyllum.

Distribution and habitat

Eriophyllum lanatum is native to western North America. It is most common across California,[2] also growing north through Oregon into British Columbia and east through Idaho into Wyoming, and through Nevada into Utah.[2][16] This species has only been collected from Mexico once, on Guadalupe Island, and it is most likely extirpated there.[17]

It can be found (for instance in California) in chaparral, oak woodland, mixed evergreen forest, and yellow pine forest and other conifer forests, grassland, and sagebrush scrub habitats.[2] It commonly grows in dry, open places[1] below Шаблон:Convert in elevation. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil, but it also grows on rocky slopes and bluffs.[6]
