Nuttall's Rayless Goldenrod

Bigelowia nuttallii L. C. Anders.

Comments

provided by eFloras
The geographic distribution of Bigelowia nuttallii is discontinuous, skipping from its area of greatest abundance in Texas and central Louisiana to scattered sites in northeastern Alabama, Georgia, and Florida (where partially sympatric with B. nudata var. nudata). Polyploids are known in populations in Georgia and Florida and are morphologically indistinguishable from the diploids.

Flower heads are small, yellow, and displayed in flat-topped arrays, each with 2-6 disc florets but no ray florets. The plants generally grow in sandy soil.[3][4]
