The center of the flower is bright yellow with a mound of 150 to 200 stamens surrounding the styles. The flower stems are fuzzy. The one to two-inch wide basal leaves are ternately compound (divided into three parts) and densely covered with silky hairs. It enjoys dry to moderate moisture soils and full sun. It is generally found on sandy hillsides and prairies. (EW)
