Erigeron clokeyi Cronquist |
Erigeron clokeyi is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name Clokey's fleabane, or Clokey's daisy. This wildflower is native to the sage scrub of Nevada and far eastern California, and it can also be found in the talus of the Sierra Nevada. This is a small perennial daisy with leaves mostly around the base of the plant. The hairy, unbranching erect stems each hold an inflorescence of a single flower head which is about a centimeter wide. The head has a center of golden yellow disc florets and a fringe of very light to medium purple ray florets which are usually reflexed away from the center.
