Description
Native, herbaceous taprooted perennial, with one or several stems rising from the base.[2] 1-3 dms tall.[3]
Leaves are alternate, rough-hairy, lance-shaped, entired to lobed, rarely pinnately divided.[2]
Capitate inflorescence bearing yellow rays, often maroon at base, 1.5-3.5 cm. long, disk corollas purplish. Receptacle concex to subglobose, with chaffy bristles that do not subtend the individual florets. [4]
Aristata derived from Latin arist, bristle, in reference to the hairy stems and leaves, and the bristled fruits.[2]
Fruit is a one-seeded, gray-brown achene, 7-10mm inch long, with densely ascending hairs, a short pappus crown 7-10mm long, and awns approximately two times as long as the fruit body.[2]
Bloom Period
May - September[5]
Distribution
From south-central Canada to southern Colorado, east to the Dakotas and west to the Cascade Mountains of Washington and the Blue Mountains of Oregon.[2]
Habitat
Sunny, well-drained sites in prairie meadows up to montane grassy openings.[3]
Uses
Medicine and Food
A rich array of medicinal uses, including but not limited to the following
Sx̌ʷyʔiɬpx use of whole plant decoction as a tonic for kidney ailments, poultice of plant applied for backaches, decoction of plant for headaches.[6]
Nlaka'pamux use of infusion of whole plant as a treatment for cancer. [7] It is important to note that depending on the time of the source and the orientation of the researcher, the term 'cancer' in medical and ethnobotanical texts may refer to a variety of conditions, that may or may not overlap neatly with common contemporary usage of the word.
Nlaka'pamux use of decoction of plant as a tuberculosis remedy.[7]
Havsuw' Baaja use as food, seeds parched, ground, and kneaded into seed butter.[8]
A rash or irritation may result from contact with the sap.[3]
Ecological
G. aristata can be used in producing native wildflower sod for restoration of native plant colonies.[2]
Provides food source of pollen, nectar, and cover for a wide variety of pollinators. It is a common nectar source for the adult stage of the butterfly, Edwards fritillary, Speyeria edwards. [2]
A cryptic moth, Schinia masoni, is color-camouflaged to mimic the yellow ray flowers and purplish-brown disk flowers of blanketflower as protection against predators.[2]
Forage for young sage-grouse.[2]
Competes well with certain noxious weeds such as Acroptilon repens.[2]
Propagation
Tolerant of drought conditions, and relatively fire resistant.[2]
May be grown from seed or crown division. Spring seeding is preferred over summer or fall dormant seeding. Stratification is not necessary, but a period of cold moist stratification may decrease germination variability. The plants tend to be rather long-lived and may re-seed once established. [3]
