Pectis pimana[1] is an herbaceous plant in the family Asteraceae. It is endemic to a mountainous area in the Sierra Madre Occidental, in the Mexican State of Chihuahua.[2] Type locale is the village of Nabogame, 18 km of Yepachic and about 10 km east of the state line with Sonora.[3][4] Most of the inhabitants of Nabogame are of the indigenous ethnic group known as the Mountain Pima or Pima Bajo; the specific epithet "pimana" was chosen in their honor.[1]
