Pseudognaphalium stramineum has linear-lanceolate leaves which are densely pubescent on both top and bottom, giving the entire plant a silvery-canescent appearance. It is common in the Gila Wilderness and grows out from between rocks in the Ponderosa Pine forest. Pseudognaphalium macounii also prefers Ponderosa Pine forest, but is much greener on the upper leaf surface. Please click on an image for a larger file.
