Antennaria friesiana

Antennaria friesiana, or Fries' pussytoes, is an Arctic species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It is the northern reaches of Asia and North America (Russia, Alaska, Northwest Territories, Yukon, Nunavut, Quebec, Labrador, and Greenland). Many of the populations lack male (staminate) flowers and reproduce asexually.[2][3][4][5]
