On Lindley’s Silverpuffs, Microseris Lindleyi or Uropappus lindleyi. Serpentine prairie next to Barkley Field. Definitely not on Microseris douglasii. Lindley’s Silverpuffs seem to be formerly classified as genus Microseris, thought it was interesting.
Last year at Kite Hill Woodside I watched a couple folks on their hands and knees looking for these galls on the tiny Microseris douglasii.
