Isocoma coronopifolia, also known as the common goldenbush, is a type of plant found in North America. It belongs to the sunflower family, which includes many well-known flowers.
What is the Common Goldenbush?
This plant is a shrub, meaning it is a woody plant smaller than a tree. It can grow up to about 120 centimeters (or 4 feet) tall. The common goldenbush gets its name from its flowers. Its flower heads grow in groups at the ends of its branches. Each flower head has 12 to 15 small disc flowers. Unlike some sunflowers, it does not have the larger "ray flowers" that look like petals.
Where Does it Grow?
You can find the common goldenbush in areas around the Río Grande river. It grows in parts of Mexico, including Tamaulipas, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Chihuahua. It is also found in the southern part of Texas in the United States.
