Hymenopappus hintoniorum is a North American species of flowering plant in the daisy family. It grows in northern Mexico, in the State of Coahuila.[1]

Hymenopappus hintoniorum grows at high elevations (3000 meters (10,000 feet) or more above sea level) in the Sierra Madre Occidental. It is a biennial herb up to 150 cm (5 feet) tall. It has very narrow divided leaves, resembling branching threads. One plant produces numerous flower heads in flat-topped clusters, each head with 100 or more yellow disc flowers but no ray flowers.[2]
