Flyriella stanfordii is a Mexican species of plants in the sunflower family. It is native to the States of Nuevo León, Tamaulipas in northeastern Mexico.[1][2][3]
Flyriella stanfordii grows amidst luxuriant vegetation in moist canyons. Its stem is covered with long hairs. Leaves are egg-shaped, up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long. One plant will produce numerous flower heads tightly packed into a flat-topped array. Each head has 20-23 white disc flowers but no ray flowers.[2]
