What Plant Is This?

Some sort of knapweed?

Maybe Stokes Aster?

Look up Plectocephalus americana (American Basketflower). I believe that's it.

My “Picture This” called it Brown Knapweed, first. Then it called it Stokes Aster. Then it called it Texas Thistle. I dont believe it is an aster or the thistle. Maybe a knapweed? Never seen one before.

I think @Native Hunter has it right

The Centaurea genus is the same genus for knapweed - also listed for American Basket Flower. Not sure which genus is current. I agree - looks like it.
Thanks
