"Erigeron aphanactis" is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name rayless shaggy fleabane. This wildflower is native to the western United States from California to Colorado, where it grows in sage, scrub, and open woodland habitat. It is a short, clumping perennial with stem and foliage covered in stiff hairs and resin glands. Most of the narrow, fuzzy leaves are near the base of the plant. The erect stems hold inflorescences of one or more flat, buttonlike flower heads, which are packed full of golden yellow disc florets and have no ray florets. Each is about a centimeter wide.
