Eriophyllum (Greek, woolly-leaved). Compositae. Herbs, mostly woody, and commonly with yellow- rayed heads; one kind cult, in a few hardy borders is a low, tufted, herbaceous perennial, with much-divided lvs., covered with wool beneath (each st. bearing about 5), and 8-rayed yellow heads 2 in. across, borne in a loosely forking fashion on peduncles 3-7 in. long. The genus was included in Bahia by Bentham & Hooker, but is now kept distinct largely because of the permanently erect involucral bracts: seeds mostly 4- angled, and pappus of nerveless and mostly pointless, colorless portions. Actinolepis is included in this genus by some authors. There are about a dozen species, in N. W. Amer. E. caespitosum, Douglas (Actinella lanata, Pursh, not Nutt. Bahia lanata, DC.), described above, has been advertised. Either moist or dry ground, Mont, to Brit. Col. and S. Calif.; very variable. CH
