Dysodiopsis tagetoides, commonly known as false dogfennel,[3] is a species of flowering plant in the family Asteraceae.[1] It is native to the United States, where it is restricted to Oklahoma and Texas.[4] It is found in areas of calcareous soil.[5]
Dysodiopsis is a monotypic genus, and therefore contains no other species.
Dysodiopsis tagetoides is a perennial herb up to 80 cm (6 feet) tall. The plant produces flower heads one at a time or in loose arrays, each head containing as many as 12 yellow ray florets and up to 40 dull yellow disc florets.[6]
