The Mexican name for the plant is Cachanilla. In the older botanical reports it was called Tessaria borealis. 232 MULE EAKS (Wyethia angustifdlia, Nutt. ). Flower heads solitary, 3 to 4 inches across, composed of both ray and disk florets, and both yellow, the involucre an inch high of loose, leaf-like bracts. Leaves alternate, lance-shaped, tapering to both ends, hairy and often somewhat glutinous, the lower ones tufted, 6 inches to a foot or more long, with an erect habit; the stem leaves sho...rter and usually broader. A peren- nial herb a few inches to 2 feet high, from a strong root crowned with a short trunk; common from Central California north to Oregon, in moist ground and valley lands, and on hillsides, blooming in late spring and summer. Wyethia is a genus of several species peculiar to the Far West. Because of the large, bright yellow flowers most of them are lumped in popular parlance as Sunflowers. The ample root leaves with an alert, upright habit are also con- spicuous, whence the name Mule Ears.
