  • Question

    I found this plant in a high meadow. Quabbin region. It looks a lot like an Echinacea or Rudbeckia to me but I am unsure. The hairs on the leaves are very soft. The leaves themselves are also quite soft and flexible. Leaves are similar in size to Echinacea purpurea leaves.

    Answer

    Wolf-face, good morning. I wish I could assist you, and probably could come to an initial hypothesis if I were present face to face with that plant. But, from the image, I am not able to offer any information. I will continue to ponder it, and if something comes, I will send you an email. Best wishes.
