Chaptalia texana, common name silverpuff , is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to Mexico, Texas, and New Mexico.[2][3][4]
Chaptalia texana is a perennial plant growing from a large root. Leaves are in a basal rosette close to the ground, with dense woolly hairs on the underside but not on top. There is generally only one flower head, held on an unbranched stalk; head is nodding (hanging) at fruiting time but not at flowering time. Flowers are cream-colored, turning reddish as they get old.[2][5]
