Anisocarpus scabridus, the leafy raillardiopsis,{{PLANTS|id=ANSC14|taxon=Anisocarpus scabridus|accessdate=18 May 2015}} is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae.
Distribution
It is found only in northwestern California, primarily in scree slopes at relatively high elevations in the Coast Ranges of Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity, Lake, Tehama, and Colusa Counties. There are also a few isolated populations in the southern Cascades of northern Shasta County.[http://bonap.net/MapGallery/County/Anisocarpus%20scabridus.png Biota of North America Program 2014 county distribution map][http://www.calflora.org/cgi-bin/species_query.cgi?where-calrecnum=8878 Calflora taxon report, University of California, Anisocarpus scabridus (Eastw.)

Description
Anisocarpus scabridus is a small plant rarely more than 2 inches (5 cm) high. It has blue-green leaves and flower heads containing both ray florets and disc florets.[http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=1&taxon_id=250066064 Flora of North America Vol. 21 Page 301 Anisocarpus scabridus (Eastwood) B. G. Baldwin]
The plant is quite different in ecology and appearance from the only other species in the genus, A. madioides. The two were classified in different genera for many years until molecular and anatomical studies in the 1990s demonstrated their close relationship.[https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/641195#page/463/mode/1up Baldwin, Bruce G. 1999. Novon 9(4): 462-471.]
