Flaveria palmeri is a rare Mexican plant species of yellowtops within the sunflower family. It has been found only in the States of Coahuila and Nuevo León in northeastern Mexico.[2][3]
Flaveria palmeri grows in dry gypsum soils in the Chihuahuan Desert. It is a shrub up to 75 cm (30 in) tall. Leaves are long and narrow, up to 8 cm (3 in) long. One plant can produce numerous small yellow flower heads in loose, branching arrays. Each head contains 3-8 disc flowers plus a few ray flowers.[2][4]
