Canada Frostweed - Helianthemum canadense Cistaceae - Rockrose Family

A yellow, 5-parted, 2/3" to 1 1/8" wide flower. With 1 or 2 flowers in a branched cluster at the top of the stem.
Plant height: 8 to 24 inches.

This is a tough one to ID with confidence. Very Similar to Helianthemum bicknellii (Hoary Frostweed) which seems to be much more common around here and their characteristics tend to overlap.
With H. canadence, the stamens often clustered on one side of the central column.
With H. bicknellii the stamens fan around the central column.

Native

Likes a part shade to sun and a dry sandy soil habitat on prairies, dunes, savanna and barrens.
