Antennaria rosulata is a North American species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae known by the common name Kaibab pussytoes or woolly pussytoes.[2] It is native to the Southwestern United States, in the states of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah.[3]
Antennaria rosulata is a very small plant rarely growing more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the ground, spreading by means of horizontal stems running along the surface of the ground. Flower heads are generally borne one at a time, with male and female flowers on separate plants. The foliage is covered with silvery-gray hairs. It generally grows at low altitudes in the mountains, very often with big sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata.[2]
