Description
Eriophyllum nubigenum is an annual herb with a densely woolly stem up to 15 centimeters (6 inches) tall. The oblong leaves are one to two centimeters (0.4-0.8 inches) long, untoothed, and woolly in texture. The inflorescence is a cluster of small golden yellow flower heads with 4-6 one-millimeter-long ray florets surrounding 10–20 disc florets.[4]

gollark: UK universities apparently do significantly more specialized courses than US ones.
