==Description==
''Chaenactis xantiana'' is an annual plant growing to 50 cm tall. The leaves are somewhat succulent, 3-7 cm long and 3-4 mm broad, in a basal rosette on the young plants which wither away during flowering, and spirally arranged leaves on the flowering stem; they are green, finely flecked with white scales giving an overall grayish color to the plant.〔〔(Gray, Asa 1865. Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences 6: 545 )〕
The Mojave pincushion flowers are produced in a capitulum 3-6 cm diameter, and are white.〔(Flora of North America, Fleshy pincushion, fleshcolor pincushion, Xantus pincushion, ''Chaenactis xantiana'' A. Gray )〕
It is similar to ''Chaenactis stevioides'' (Esteve pincushion).
The species is named for Hungarian-American ichthyologist (John Xantus ) (1825-1894).〔
