Baéria grácilis
Yellow
Southwest
This is a dear little plant, often covering
the fields with a carpet of gold. The
slender stems are about six inches tall,
with soft, downy, light green leaves,
usually opposite, and pretty fragrant
flowers, about three-quarters of an inch across, with bright
yellow rays and darker yellow centers. This is sometimes
called Fly Flower, because in some places it is frequented
by a small fly, which is annoying to horses. B. macrántha
is a much larger plant, a biennial, with a tuberous root,
from seven inches to a foot and a half tall, with long,
narrow, toothless leaves, with hairy margins, and flower-heads
from an inch to an inch and a half across, with
yellow rays and hairy involucres. This grows along the
coast in California, blooming in May and June.

Arizona
Nothing could look much less like a
garden Zinnia than this dry, prickly-looking
dwarf shrub. It is from three inches to a
foot high, the branches crowded with very
small, stiff, dull green leaves, and the
flowers are about an inch across, rather
pretty but not conspicuous, with a yellow center and four
or five, broad, cream-white rays, often tinged with dull pink.
This plant grows on the plains and is a "soil-indicator," as
it flourishes on the poorest, stoniest, and most arid land.

A quaint little desert plant, only two or
three inches tall, with thickish, pale gray-green
leaves, covered with close white
down, and pretty little flowers, growing
singly at the ends of tiny branches, each
half an inch across, with a yellow center and pure white
rays, which fold back at night. These little flowers are too
small to be very conspicuous, but are charming in effect,
sprinkled over the bare sand, and when growing in quantities
on nearly bare mesas give a whitish appearance to the
ground.

with pale yellow tube-shaped flowers and downy, white
involucres, and are so crowded on the twigs that they
appear to be loaded with them, but the coloring is too
pale to be effective. This is common in the Mohave Desert
and elsewhere on dry hills and plains, as far east as
Colorado.
There are a great many kinds of Solidago, most of them
natives of North America. On the whole, the western

Autumn
Cal., Oreg., Wash.
A branching evergreen shrub, from two
to five feet high, with smooth dark green,
leathery leaves, an inch or less long, rather
wedge-shaped, usually coarsely toothed.
The flower-heads are very small, without
rays, and are crowded at the ends of the
twigs. Some plants have only staminate
flowers and some only pistillate ones, and the effect of the
two sorts is very different, for the staminate flowers are
ugly, but the pistillate ones are provided with quantities
of long, white, silky pappus, giving a beautiful, snowy
appearance to the shrub. This is very variable, being a
fine shrub in favorable situations, and is common along the
coast on the sand dunes, on low hills and on high mountain
slopes.
There are a great many kinds of Aster, most abundant in
North America, difficult to distinguish, the flowers never
yellow. Though there are some fine ones in the West, they

without leaf-stalks. The many flowers are an inch or more
across, with yellow centers and white, violet, or purple
rays, the bracts of the involucre in several rows, with short
and rounded tips. This is rather variable. A. radulìnus,
Broad-leaf Aster, has stiff, rough leaves, sharply toothed
towards the broad tips, and usually many flowers, an inch
or so across, with whitish rays. This is rather common on
dry hills in California and Oregon, blooming in summer and

with involucres, the bracts in one or several rows; the
receptacle flat or flattish, sometimes naked or smooth,
sometimes scaly, pitted or honeycombed; the flowers all
perfect; the calyx-tube without pappus, or with pappus of
scales or bristles, sometimes feathery; the corollas not of
two sorts, like those of the Sunflower Family, but all with
a strap-shaped border, usually five-toothed, and a short

Dandelion
Taráxacum
Taráxacum
Yellow
All seasons
U. S., etc.
This is a weed in all civilized parts of
the world, growing in meadows, fields, and
waste places. It has a thick, deep, bitter
root, a tuft of root-leaves, slashed into
toothed lobes, and several hollow flower-stalks,
from two to eighteen inches tall,
each bearing a single, handsome, bright yellow flower,
from one to two inches across, which is succeeded by a
beautiful silvery seed puff. This plant has many common
names, such as Blow-ball, Monk's-head, Lion's-tooth, etc.
Sow Thistle—Sonchus oleraceus.
Silver-puffs—Microseris linearifolia.
There are a great many kinds of Crepis, natives of the
northern hemisphere.
Gray Hawksbeard
Crèpis occidentàlis
Yellow
Spring, summer
West, etc.
This is a pretty plant, for the gray-green
foliage sets off the yellow flowers.
It is from six to eighteen inches high,
more or less hairy or downy all over, with
one or several, stout, branching, leafy
stems, and thickish leaves, variously cut,
mostly jagged like Dandelion leaves, with crisp margins,
dark bluish-green in color and often covered on the under
side with obscure white down, the root-leaves narrowed to
leaf-stalks at the base. The flower-heads are about an inch
across, with bright yellow rays, the involucre sprinkled
with short, dark hairs. This grows on dry plains, as
far east as Colorado.
Smooth Hawksbeard
Crèpis vìrens
Yellow
Summer
Cal., Oreg., etc.
This is a weed from Europe, growing in
fields and waste places, in the East and on
the Pacific Coast. It is a smooth plant,
from one to two feet tall, with green leaves
the shape of Dandelion leaves, chiefly in a
bunch at the root. The many, small,
yellow flowers, each about a quarter of an inch long, are in
a loose cluster at the top of the stem. This is very variable.
Hawksbeard
Crèpis acuminàta
Yellow
Spring, summer
West, except
Ariz.
A handsome and conspicuous plant,
often forming large clumps, from one to
three feet tall, with dull green, downy,
rather leathery leaves, irregularly slashed
and cut, and large clusters of light bright
yellow flowers, each about three-quarters
of an inch across. This grows on hillsides and on high dry
mesas.
Gray Hawksbeard—C. occidentalis.
Hawksbeard—Crepis acuminata.
