Woodrush pussytoes is a perennial wildflower with one to several floral scapes arising 20-80 cm high from a branched, woody base. It is not a mat-forming species. The herbage of the stems and leaves is gray-haired to woolly. The lower leaves are erect, linear-oblanceolate to narrowly oblanceolate, and range up to 6 cm long and 6 mm wide. The upper stem leaves are reduced in size and more linear in shape. The stem leaves alternate on the stems.
The numerous flower heads form a fairly loose corymb of short-cylindric or bell-shaped flower heads. The involucres are 4-5 mm high with the bracts glabrous. The lower involucral bracts are pale greenish-brown, the upper parts of the bracts whitish. All flowers are disk flowers. There are no ray flowers. The flowers are imperfect, with the staminate and pistillate flowers found on separate plants.
Woodrush pussy-toes is a wildflower of open, moderately dry and gravelly places from the foothills to moderate elevation in the mountains.
Antennaria luzuloides is found from southern British Columbia south through north-central Oregon to northern California and east to western Montana and northern Utah.
In the Columbia River Gorge it may be found between the elevations of 1600'-3000' from Hood River Mt. east to The Dalles, OR.
