Chaetopappa pulchella is a North American species of plants in the family Asteraceae. It found only in the State of (Coahuila in northern Mexico.[1][2][3]

Chaetopappa pulchella grows on the bottoms of canyons and ravines in the Chihuahuan Desert. It is a small plant rarely more than 7 cm (2.8 inches) tall though possessing a taproot and hence perhaps capable of surviving inhospitable seasons to act as a perennial. Flower heads have lavender ray florets and yellow disc florets.[1]
