Tetraneuris linearifolia is a North American species of plants in the sunflower family, known by the common name fineleaf fournerved daisy.[2] It grows in the south-central United States (Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico) and northern Mexico (Coahuila, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas).[3][4][5]

Tetraneuris linearifolia is an annual herb up to 50 cm (20 in) tall. It forms a branching underground caudex sometimes producing as many as 10 above-ground stems. One plant can produce as many as 80 flower heads. Each head has 9–25 yellow ray flowers surrounding 50-200 yellow disc flowers.[6][7]
