Hooker’s scratchdaisy
Isopappus hookerianus Torrey & A. Gray, Fl. N. Amer. 2: 239. 1842; Croptilon divaricatum (Nuttall) Rafinesque var. hookerianum (Torrey & A. Gray) Shinners; Haplopappus validus (Rydberg) Cory subsp. torreyi E. B. Smith
Stems erect, 20–80(–120) cm. Cauline leaf blades lanceolate to linear, reduced distally (becoming bractlike near heads), margins usually serrate apically, rarely entire. Peduncles stipitate-glandular, sometimes hispid as well. Involucres campanulate, (3.5–)5–8(–10) mm diam. Ray florets (10–)13–21(–29); corolla laminae 6–12 mm. Disc florets (20–)33–70(–108). 2n = 10, 12, 14.

Morphologic differences among the three varieties are slight and they form a closely coherent group within the genus; corresponding differences in geography, habitat, and chromosome number provide a rationale for maintaining the taxonomic and nomenclatural distinctions. B. L. Turner et al. (2003, vol. 1) treated var. hookerianum as including var. graniticum. B chromosomes sometimes are present and appear to increase the number by a pair (E. B. Smith 1966).
