Abstract

Helianthus winteri is described from Fresno and Tulare Counties in the southern Sierra Nevada foothills of California. It is distinguished from H. annuus by its woody trunk, year-round blooming, and morphological characteristics. It occurs in open, ungrazed foothill woodlands and annual grasslands on well-drained, granitic soils, generally on lower-elevation, south-facing foothill slopes east of the San Joaquin Valley.
