This native plant grows on sandy prairies, sunny slopes where there is dry soil. Flowers are solitary at the end of branches and there are 5 ray florets. In flower early July-September. Though common here, I don't see it all that often - and it is rather difficult to spot.

This dainty flower grows from late June to September. I see it very rarely. "Lygodesmia" comes from the Greek "lygos" (plant twig) and "desme" (bundle), referring to the appearance of the plant.
