Please try our next iteration of the Michigan Flora Online here. Beginning on February 1, 2023, michiganflora.net will point to this new site.
The new site offers several benefits over the existing website, including real coordinate mapping, giving a clearer view of the density of documentation as well as more precision about plant distributions and their link to landforms. We will also have the ability to update species pages more regularly, both in terms of new collections and as more existing Michigan specimens are georeferenced. In addition, we have a better photo display, and offer indented keys.

Dry, open, sandy, ± barren ground; oak and pine savanna, especially in disturbed areas.
Leaves and scape range from nearly glabrous to, usually, with ± dense gland-tipped hairs. Plants start blooming in early summer (May–June) and continue (if not dried up) to produce new scapes till late in the summer, even September. Because of the long blooming season, it is usually possible to find flowering and fruiting scapes at the same time, the latter revealing the very characteristic pappus of few scales and few bristles.
