Antheropeas Wallacei

General: Woolly Easterbonnets (Antheropeas wallacei) are annual forbs that grows close to the ground, a typical "belly flower." Getting down on your belly, flower watchers will notice the small yellow, sunflower-type flowers with woolly hairs on the stems and leaves (woolly, but not cobweb-covered). The tip of the leaf is rounded, not notched.
