Chamaechaenactis, common name fullstem,[3] is a genus of flowering plants in the daisy family.[4][5][6]
There is only one known species, Chamaechaenactis scaposa, native to the western United States (Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah)[3][1][7] It is a perennial up to 10 cm (4 inches) tall with a thick underground caudex.
