Wyethia is a genus of North American flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.[1][2][3] First published by Thomas Nuttall in J. Acad. Nat. Sci. Philadelphia vol.7 on page 39 in 1834.[4]

These plants are commonly referred to as mule's ears. They are short, low to the ground golden-rayed wildflowers that resemble miniature sunflowers.[5] The genus is named for an early explorer of the western United States, American Nathaniel Jarvis Wyeth, 1802–1856.[6]
