Syntrichopappus fremontii (Fremont's-gold,[1] yellowray Fremont's-gold[2] false woolly daisy,[3] or Fremont's xerasid[4]), is a small annual plant in the family Asteraceae.

[3][4][5] It has yellow flower heads and grows in the Mojave Desert, to Utah and northwestern Arizona.

[5] Syntrichopappus fremontii grows at an altitude of 600–2500 m, in open sandy or gravelly areas, often in association with Creosote bush scrub or Joshua tree woodland vegetation.

[6] It somewhat resembles Eriophyllum wallacei, but grows on higher ground and has only about half the number of ray flowers.

[3] The fruit is an achene with a pappus of 30–40 white bristles about 2 mm long, fused at their base.
