the other side of sunflower canyon

What makes this Sunflower so different from our other sunflowers is that the ray flower has no bractlets. This trait makes this plant distinct enough that it is more of a distant cousin of the Shrub Sunflower or Slender Sunflower. This plant is placed in the Tarweed tribe - our other sunflowers are in the Helianthus tribe.
