Smallanthus uvedalia, known as hairy leafcup, bear's foot, and yellow flower leafcup, is a herbaceous perennial native to the Central and Eastern United States.
The stem is stout and generally smooth below the inflorescence branches.
The opposite leaves form a small cup around the stem, hence the name leafcup.
Each head has 7 to 13 yellow, 1–2 cm (3⁄8–3⁄4 in) long ray flowers to the outside, and 40-80 or so yellow tube-like disc flowers to the inside.
A single large plant may produce one hundred or so heads.
