Heliomeris hispida is a North American species of flowering plants in the sunflower family called the hairy goldeneye[4] or rough false goldeneye.[5] It is native to the southwestern United States (Arizona, New Mexico, Utah) and also to the northern Sierra Madre Occidental of western Chihuahua and eastern Sonora in Mexico.[6][3][7] There are a few reports of the species growing in California, but these are most likely introduced populations.[8]
Heliomeris hispida is an annual herb up to 90 cm (3 feet) tall, with a large taproot. One plant can produce 1-15 flower heads, each head with 9-15 ray flowers surrounding 50 or more tiny disc flowers. The species prefers saline marshes and meadows in mountainous areas.[4]
