Hecastocleis is a genus of low thorny shrubs that belongs to the daisy family. It is the only representative of the tribe Hecastocleideae and the subfamily Hecastocleidoideae. The only species in this genus is Hecastocleis shockleyi, also known as prickleleaf. This plant is found in the southwestern United States, specifically in the desert plains and mountains of eastern California and southern Nevada. It is a xerophytic shrub with stiff branches and oval, thorny bracts at the tip of each branch. The inflorescences contain several flower heads, each with a single pinkish bud that opens into a white corolla. Hecastocleis shockleyi has 16 chromosomes and its leaves are hairless or have a few soft hairs, with spines along the margins. The complex inflorescences are carried at the end of the branches and consist of clusters of flower heads surrounded by spiny bracts. The corolla of the florets is pinkish purple in bud and turns pinkish white at flowering. The plant is hermaphrodite and its pollen is yellow, unadorned, and
