Aldama apiculata is a herbaceous plant species in the Asteraceae family, native to parts of Mexico. It is characterized by its bright yellow, daisy-like flower heads and broad, rough-textured leaves with a pointed (apiculate) tip, which gives the species its name. Typically found in dry, open habitats such as grasslands or scrubby hillsides, this sun-loving plant contributes to local floral diversity and supports pollinators like bees and butterflies.
