Straggler daisy (Calyptocarpus vialis, Asteraceae)
Not native
This plant was growing as a weed in the mowed grass near the Nature Center.
On March 25, 2011, "Anonymous," in a comment to this post, correctly identified the plant as Calyptocarpus vialis, a non-native weed. I had previousy labeled it as Pectis prostrat, which was mostly a guess based on similarity in appearance.
