A wildflower in the sunflower tribe of the aster family.
Spotted at the edge of a coniferous forest. Found in western North America.
All of the plant can be eaten. It can be bitter and pine-like in taste. Many Native American groups, including the Nez Perce, Kootenai, Cheyenne, and Salish, utilized the plant as a food and medicine.The seeds were particularly valuable as food or used for oil
