JRsbugs said:There's two ways to find plants in Texas and more closely in your area.

Under dynamic tools select dynamic key, then select the family Asteraceae. Then click on the map where you are located, just above #69 south west of Houston. You will get a list of plants in the family for your area by clicking on 'build checklist'.

The other way is to select Texas under State Floras, then go to the family but you get a lot more that way.

Using this link, I have learned an awful lot about local plants - including the fact that apparently closely related species may not look much alike! However I have not found a likely candidate. I think it must be a hybrid of some sort.
