Townsendia strigosa, this form treated as var. prolixa by Stan Welsh. Prolixa means stretched out and was first used by Marcus Jones to describe its habit but with a different specific epithet. It is best treated however as simply Townsendia strigosa.This picture best shows the red prostrate, sprawling stems. Var. prolixa as circumscribed by Welsh has broad persistent basal leaves that are spatulate to elliptical and long-cuneate basally, and abruptly acute apically.As strictly interpreted by Welsh, this variety only occurs in Utah's Duchesne and Grand Counties. However, the species also occurs in Utah in Daggett, Uintah and Carbon Cos. and it is unclear whether plants in Uintah Co. are the same variety or not. FNA treats this only at the species level. The species occurs in adjoining Colorado in only two western counties, and is a state rare (S1) species there. The species also occurs in southwestern to central Wyoming (where it has been given an S3 ranking historically) as well as in northeastern to east central Arizona and northwestern New Mexico.In Utah, this taxon is currently ranked by the Utah Native Plant Society as one of "High" priority/concern, and is facing numerous energy development and recreational use threats.Flowers can be white or pink.May 6, 2006, Duchesne County, Utah, approx. 5110 ft. elev.

Summary[edit] Description: Yellowstone grounddaisy, Townsendia condensata, White Mountains, elevation 3545 m (11630 ft). Also visible are leaves of King sandwort (Eremogone kingii var. compacta) and compact phlox (Phlox condensata). Substrate is carbonate (Reed Dolomite). This is one of several species on carbonate substrates in the White Mountains that are widely disjunct from their main ranges in the northern Rocky Mountains. This species is otherwise known only from the nearby Sweetwater Mountains, and from another disjunct occurrence in the Tushar Mountains of south-central Utah. A few species of the southern Sierra Nevada also share this pattern of disjunction. Date: 24 June 2014, 15:39. Source: Yellowstone grounddaisy, Townsendia condensata.

Summary[edit] Description: Last Chance townsendia (Townsendia aprica) is a diminutive perennial herb in the sunflower family. It is endemic to central Utah where it occurs in Emery, Sevier, and Wayne counties. The species is associated with piñon-juniper and grassland communities between 6,100 and 8,000 feet in elevation. Habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation are the largest threats this species faces today. Sources of these threats include coal mining, road developments, recreational off-road vehicle use, and grazing. It was listed threatened in 1985. Photo Credit: Daniela Roth / USFWS.
