Description

Antennaria parlinii is an herb up to 45 centimetres (18 in) tall. Male and female flowers are borne on separate plants; in some populations all the plants are female. White flowers bloom April to June, with 4 to 12 or more flowerheads on a cluster at the top of the stems. [4] The common name refers to the resemblance of the flowers to the toes of a cat. [5] The basal leaves are 2.5–9.5 centimetres (1–3.75 in) long and up to 4.4 centimetres (1.75 in) wide. A. parlinii is very similar to the species Antennaria plantaginifolia (plantain leaf pussytoes), although the flowers of A. parlinii" are larger. [4]

The species is named for American botanist John Crawford Parlin (1863–1948), who recognized the uniqueness of the species. [6] [7]
