General: Woolly Easterbonnets (Antheropeas wallacei) are annual forbs that grows close to the ground, a typical "belly flower." Getting down on your belly, flower watchers will notice the small yellow, sunflower-type flowers with woolly hairs on the stems and leaves (woolly, but not cobweb-covered). The tip of the leaf is rounded, not notched.

Woolly Easterbonnets is an common, sometimes abundant, component of vegetation communities in dry, well-drained gravelly areas on bajadas into the lower mountains in the Lower Sonoran (Creosote-Bursage Flats) and Upper Sonoran (Mojave Desert Scrub and Pinyon-Juniper Woodland) life zones.

Family: Sunflower (Asteraceae)

Other Names: formerly Antheropeas wallacei.
