Astranthium integrifolium (Michaux) Nuttall. Common name: Eastern Western-daisy. Habitat: Limestone glades, barren, rocky woodlands, roadsides. Distribution: Nc. KY south through c. TN to nw. GA and ne. AL (primarily in the Interior Low Plateau); disjunct in c. MS (where a waif) and also disjunct in nc. WV, where presumably introduced.
ID notes: Differing from Dichaetophora by its absence of winglike cypsela margin.
Origin/Endemic status: Endemic
Taxonomy Comments: The related A. ciliatum (Rafinesque) Nesom of the Ozarkian region and Texas has sometimes been treated as a variety, subspecies, or unnamed component of A. integrifolium, but see Nesom (2005a) for rationale for recognition at the specific rank, which renders A. integrifolium endemic east of the Mississippi River.
