The genus name is sometimes spelled Haploësthes, with two dots over the first e to indicate that the o and the e are to be pronounced in separate syllables. This is optional; either spelling is equally acceptable.International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Melbourne Code) section 60.6
Haploesthes fruticosa is a woody shrub up to 150 cm (5 feet) tall. It is very similar to H. greggii except for its woody habit and a few differences in the shape of the involucral bracts covering the lower parts of the flower heads.
