|discussion=<p><i>Madia exigua</i> occurs in seasonally dry situations in much of western North America outside the warm deserts. Morphologically, <i>M. exigua</i> is somewhat similar to <i>Hemizonella minima</i>, which (unlike <i>M. exigua</i>) has subumbellate arrays of heads and obcompressed, sparsely hairy ray cypselae.</p>
