Se describe una nueva especie de Townsendia (Asteraceae: Astereae) del condado de Grand, Utah. Townsendia raptora L.M. Shultz, T.K. Lowrey, & Z.R. Coury, sp. nov. se encuentra en las proximidades del yacimiento de huellas de dinosaurios de Mill Canyon y recibe su nombre en honor de las huellas de dinosaurios similares a rapaces encontradas cerca de las poblaciones. Townsendia raptora se ha confundido anteriormente como una variedad de T. strigosa var. prolixa. Townsendia raptora se distingue de T. strigosa por su hábito perenne de larga vida, no bienal, y se diferencia de la T. incana por el tamaño de su cabeza y la forma de sus hojas. La especie también se conoce en los condados adyacentes de Colorado.
