Field Notes
Description:
Encelia farinosa grows up to 30 to 150 centimetres (12 to 59 in) tall,[2] with fragrant leaves 3–8 cm long, ovate to deltoid, and silvery tomentose. The capitula are 3–3.5 cm in diameter, with orange-yellow ray florets and yellow or purple-brown disc florets. They are arranged in loose panicles above the leafy stems fruit 3–6 mm and there is no pappus.
3-Acetyl-6-methoxybenzaldehyde is a chemical compound found in the leaves of E. farinosa
Habitat:
Encelia farinosa can be found in a variety of habitats from dry gravelly slopes to open sandy washes up to 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). It does well in cultivation and recently has spread dramatically in areas not natural to its distribution in large part because Caltrans has begun to use it in hydroseeding.
