Pseudognaphalium saxicola, common name cliff cudweed or rabbit-tobacco, is a rare plant species endemic to Wisconsin. It grows on ledges and in cracks in shaded limestone cliff-faces, usually those facing south or east.[1][4]

Pseudognaphalium saxicola is an annual, covered with a thick coat of dense, woolly hairs. It produces a cluster of 2–4 small flower heads at the tips of the branches.[1][5][6][7]
