Zeltnera Beyrichii
Erect, multiple-branched plant 4-12in. high that grows in the shape of an inverted cone, that looks like a pink bouquet.
There were a number of these plants growing on very thin soil or rock on the Belton Lake spillway.
The plant was used medicinally by the pioneers. The flowers were dried and used to reduce fevers.
