Description

Perennial herb growing from a woody caudex with blue to white terminal pseudanthia, growing to 80 cm tall.[2] Roots fibrous, rhizomatous.[3] Leaves cauline, glabrous, 3-nerved,[2] lower are ligulate-acute to spatulate, petiolate, upper becoming lanceolate and sessile.[4] Pseudanthia radiate, terminally clustered in groups of 1-13;[2] phyllaries narrow,[5] in 2-3(4) rows;[3] ray florets 65-150, light purple to blue (white), 9-18 mm long;[2] disk florets yellow, 4-5 mm;[5] pappus bristles 20-30;[5] ovaries inferior, becoming 2-nerved achenes.[2]

Bloom Period

June-August[2]

Distribution

Distributed across Washington; British Columbia to Oregon, inland to Nevada, Arizona, the Rocky Mountains and northern Great Plains.[2]

Habitat

Low to mid-elevation prairies and forest openings.[2]

Uses

Use of decoction by the Ramah Navajo people as a contraceptive and to treat menstrual pain.[6]

Propagation

Native Plant Network Propagation Protocol

Seed

Seed sample from 2011 Average Measurement: 1.9 x 0.7 x 0.3 Measurement Range: L: 1.6 – 2.25, W: 0.4 – 0.8, D: .2 – 0.4 Latitudinal Cross Section: elliptical Longitudinal Cross Section: elliptical Shape: Seed narrowed at dimpled hilum, broadening at pappus end.
