Phyllaries 6–9, elliptic to ovate, glabrous or villous. Receptacles conic, muricate, glabrous or sparsely hairy. Ray florets 6–13; laminae elliptic, 7–8 mm. Anther appendages deltate. Cypselae black to gray, narrowly clavate, 1.5–3.5 mm, hairy; pappi of 4–6 white or yellowish, lanceolate to ovate, aristate scales. 2n = 8.


Phenology: Flowering Mar–Apr.

Discussion

Lasthenia platycarpha is known only from highly saline soils and is frequently found with species of sects. Hologymne and Ornduffia, particularly L. fremontii. In the northern part of its range, L. platycarpha is more robust and has longer pappus scales and more densely pubescent peduncles. Plants with entire leaves resemble species of sect. Amphiachaenia; L. platycarpha does not have anthochlor pigments that turn red in aqueous alkali.
