Tagetes oaxacana is a Mexican species of plants in the sunflower family. It has been found only in the State of Oaxaca in southern Mexico.[1][2]
Tagetes oaxacana is an erect hairless shrub up to 100 cm (40 inches) tall. Leaves are once-pinnate, the lobes very narrow and thread-like with many glands along their lengths. The plant produces flower heads one per flowering stalk, each head with 5 yellow Ray florets surrounding 30-40 yellow Disc florets. The plant grows on rocky limestone slopes.[3]
