context_page_description: Encelia actoni, also known by the common names Acton brittlebush and Acton encelia, is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family.
  It is sometimes misspelled E. actonii.
context_section_description: Encelia actoni is a multi−branched perennial shrub, reaching 1–4 feet (0.30–1.22 m) in height. The branches are lined with oval to roughly triangular leaves a few centimeters long, that are gray-green and woolly in texture.
  The inflorescence is a solitary daisylike flower head 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) in diameter, on a tall, erect peduncle. The head has a center of many yellow disc florets surrounded by up to 25 yellow ray florets. It blooms in the Spring.
  The fruit is an achene about half a centimeter long, usually lacking a pappus. It reseeds well.
caption: The peduncle is covered with short fine hairs (canescent); the involucre is 8–14 millimetres (0.31–0.55 in).
