Basionym: Wyethia elata H. M. Hall Univ. Calif. Publ. Bot. 4: 208. 1912,
Treatment appears in FNA Volume 21. Treatment on page 105. Mentioned on page 104.

Plants 50–100 cm. Stems erect, usually branched distally. Cauline leaves: blades ovatelanceolate to deltate, (8–) 10–15 (–20) cm, bases truncate to subcordate, margins entire or finely dentate or serrulate, faces tomentulose to pilosulous (and glanddotted). Heads held beyond leaves. Involucres hemispheric, 25–40 mm diam. Outer phyllaries lanceolate, 20–30 mm (equaling or surpassing discs, tips often spreading to squarrose). Ray-florets 10–14 (–23), laminae (30–) 50–60 mm. Cypselae 8–12 mm, usually glabrous, sometimes distally strigillose; pappi coroniform (lacerate, projected into scales on angles), (0.5–) 1–2 (–3) mm. 2n = 38.


Phenology: Flowering Jun–Jul(–Aug).
Habitat: Open pine forests
Elevation: 900–1200 m
