Hairy Aster
Flowering heads are rather small,
and display about 20 white ray flowers that surround a central
cluster of yellow disk flowers. Involucral bracts are small and
lance-shaped. Leaves are narrowly lance-shaped, and arranged
individually on the stem. However, individual leaves may cluster
together, forming groups along the stem. Leaf margins have hairs,
but are smooth and lack teeth. Stems are hairy and highly branched,
with each branch having several flowering heads. Occurs in roadsides
and fields during September and October. Native to N. A.
