Habitat and range

{{Empty section|date=July 2014}}

Growth pattern

Psilostrophe cooperi is perennial shrub with stems rising from a woody base to form that a nearly spherical form.[1] It is a low, spreading bush with pale green, hairy foliage. It drops its leaves in drought conditions (drought deciduous).[1]

Stems and leaves

The linear leaves are alternate.[1]

Inflorescence

The daisylike flower heads have 3 to 8 deeply toothed golden-yellow ray florets. The flower heads are often bunched together at the tops of the stems in a rounded spray. The ray flowers persist for a time and then dry and become papery while maintaining their yellow color. The 3 toothed corollas of the dried ray flowers fold back over the phyllaries.[1]
