Upon looking at the Oregon Flora Project plant atlas, it looks like all the observations in my area for townsendia have been florifer with one observation 4 miles east of me. There have been no observations of parryi. So mine is most likely florifer. But this discussion is giving me a lot of information for identification. Thank you! Carolyn Poff Strong
