Discussion
Machaeranthera tanacetifolia is present in the southern Rocky Mountains, western Great Plains, and southwestern desert regions. It has also been reported from Illinois and New York, but in both cases is most likely introduced. Because of its large showy heads, M. tanacetifolia is sometimes planted as an ornamental.
