Brickellia mosieri

Brickellia mosieri, the Florida brickell-bush, is a North American herbaceous plant [1] in the family Asteraceae.[2] It grows in Pine Rocklands in Florida, preferring low-nutrient sand close to sea level.[3] It is characterized by small, round, rod-shaped flowers that are either brown or white.[4][5] Since 1999, the total population of the Florida brickell-bush has declined by 50% due to a number of threats.[6][7]  Currently, it is listed as "endangered wherever found" under the ESA (Endangered Species Act)[7]
