Pulicaria microcephala is a species of flowering plant of the family Asteraceae endemic to the Berlengas archipelago in Portugal. It is a small and ramified plant [2] occurring in clearings of scrubs in coastal cliffs. [3] Its flowers are yellow, flowering between March and July. [2] [4] It is an endangered plant species, [3] mainly threatened by the excessive nitrification of soils (due to the high density of seabirds) and invasive plant species, namely the ice plant. [4]
