'''''Townsendia''''' is a genus of [[Asteraceae|daisies]] known commonly as '''Townsend's daisies'''. These annual, biennial and perennial wildflowers are native to western North America, frequently at high elevation sites. A number of taxa are tall, erect plants, like typical daisies. Meanwhile, others form small, dense, leafy rosettes, or have a more sprawling, prostrate appearance. Frequently, the [[Head (botany)|flower heads]] are showy and attractive, with the ray florest in shades of pink, purple, blue, white, and, rarely, yellow.
