Flyriella parryi, Chisos Mountain brickellbush,[2] is a Mexican species of plants in the sunflower family. It is native to the States of Nuevo León, Coahuila, and Chihuahua in northern Mexico.[3] It is the only species in its genus whose natural range extends north of the international border, with a few populations on the Texas side of the Río Grande.[4]
Flyriella parryi grows on rocky slopes, along streambanks, and in canyons. Its stem has many long, glandular hairs. Leaves are egg-shaped, up to 65 mm (2.6 in) long. One plant will produce numerous flower heads in a branching array. Each head has disc flowers but no ray flowers.[5]
