Euthamia graminifolia is found in riparian areas. It can grow to several feet tall from a single stout stem (glabrous but not glaucous) that is woody at the base and branches in the top portion of the plant. The small yellow flowerheads have both ray and disc flowers, although the ray flowers are sometimes difficult to see. The phyllaries are unequal in length.
