Perityle inyoensis is a rare species of flowering plant in the aster family known by the common names Inyo rockdaisy and Inyo laphamia. It is endemic to Inyo County, California, where it is known from just a few occurrences in the southern Inyo Mountains. Its habitat is dry, rocky mountain slopes, often in limestone. [1]
Description
Perityle inyoensis is a subshrub made up of a cluster of several hairy slender stems up to about 25 centimeters long. The hairy, glandular leaves are one or two centimeters long, oval to triangular, pointed, and toothed on the edges. They may be arranged oppositely or alternately on the stems.
The inflorescence bears one to three flower heads each under a centimeter wide. The head has yellow disc florets and no ray florets. The fruit is a fuzzy achene about 3 millimeters long. [2] [3]
