Stems often purple proximally. Leaves (3–)6–15 cm, sometimes slightly succulent, clasping or sub-clasping, less commonly non-clasping, relatively unreduced to arrays, distal sometimes grading into phyllaries. Ray corollas 6–10 mm. Disc corollas 7–9 mm, lobes spreading. 2n = 18.

Flowering Jul–Sep. Moist to dry meadows and roadsides, wooded slopes, often in partially shaded understory; 2400–3800 m; Ariz., Colo., Nev., N.Mex., Utah, Wyo.; Mexico (Chihuahua).

Oreochrysum parryi was noted by A. Cronquist (1994, p. 244) to occur in "the Ruby Mts. of Elko Co., Nevada, in a glandular-puberulent, perhaps varietally separable phase." (Chihuahua—collected by C. G. Pringle from a single locality; it has never been recollected.)
