Native pollinator

The plants in this dry-mesic sand prairie above the Kinnickinic River have been identified as H. villosa var. ballardii and are host to the only population of Orobanche ludoviciana in Wisconsin.

iNat wants to label this Heterotheca canescens but this was a fairly substantial subshrub, i.e. too large and robust for that species in my experience.

Dakota Hills area of Zion National Park. Possible first record for Utah. Common after 2007 wildfire.
