    Could anyone help me identify this plant. It was found in a pasture/grassy area of the Northern Colorado plains (just below the foothills). Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Looks sort of like Matricaria discoidea. Crush it and see if it smells like pineapples.

    The foliage doesn't look as fine as I would expect for Matricaria. That said, without flowers, I don't have a suggestion (other than I would lean toward a member of the composite family).
