|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis aequilifolia | Scrub Goldenaster | Longleaf pine sandhills, Florida scrub. | Peninsular FL (Clay and Bradford counties southward). | |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis aspera var. adenolepis | Longleaf pine sandhills, dry woodlands, forests, and disturbed places, apparently in the NC Mountains only in the Escarpment. | E. MD (Simmons & Fleming 2023) and e. and c. VA south to n. FL and west to s. MS. |  | |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis aspera var. aspera | Longleaf pine sandhills, dry flatwoods. | Eastern FL Panhandle and adjacent sc. GA. |  | |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis falcata | New England Goldenaster | Stable dunes (NJ), farther north in sandplain grasslands, coastal heathlands, and pitch pine-scrub oak barrens. | Se. MA south through RI, CT, and NY (Long Island) to s. NJ. A report for Pinellas County in wc. peninsular FL (Wunderlin & Hansen 2011) is a misidentification, probably of a stunted P. tracyi. |  |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis flexuosa | Zigzag Goldenaster | Longleaf pine sandhills. | E. FL Panhandle. | |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis graminifolia | Longleaf pine sandhills, other dry woodlands. | Se. NC south to n. FL, and west to s. MS. |  | |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis latifolia | Broad-leaved Goldenaster | Florida xeric white sand scrub. | Atlantic Coast Ridge and nearby ridges inland, s. FL peninsula (Martin, Okeechobee, Palm Beach, and St. Lucie counties). |  |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis microcephala | Longleaf pine sandhills, sandy woodlands, pine savannas, pine flatwoods, other dry woodlands. | Se. NC south to n. FL and west to se. LA (specimens from west of the Mississippi River formerly referred to this species were determined by Nesom (2019a) to represent P. tenuifolia). |  | |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis nervosa | Longleaf pine sandhills, dry woodlands and forests (such as ridgetop pine/heath communities in the Mountains), roadbanks. | S. NJ, DE (formerly), s. OH, and c. AR south to s. FL and nc. TX; Bahamas; also in Mexico (CHP, OAX, PUE, TAM, VER) and Central America (Belize, Guatemala, Honduras). |  | |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis oligantha | Narrow-leaved Goldenaster, Bog Goldenaster | Wet pine flatwoods, pine savannas, and pitcherplant bogs. | Sw. GA and Panhandle FL west to s. AL; reports from e. TX (Holmes & Singhurst 2012), e. LA, and w. LA, represent misidentifications of Pityopsis nervosa. |  |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis pinifolia | Sandhill Goldenaster | Longleaf pine sandhills, sandy roadsides. | This species is locally abundant (and often weedy) but very local in distribution, limited to (apparently) scattered counties in the Sandhills (rarely middle Coastal Plain) of s. NC, SC, GA, and c. AL. |  |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis ruthii | Ruth’s Goldenaster | Flood-scoured rocks along rivers. | Restricted to rocks within the flood zone of the Hiwassee and Ocoee rivers, Polk County, TN; it should be sought in adjacent sw. NC. |  |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis tenuifolia | West Gulf Grassleaf-Goldenaster | Dry woodlands. | E. AR south to sw. MS and w to se. OK and e. TX. |  |
| Asteraceae | Pityopsis tracyi | Tracy’s Goldenaster | Longleaf pine sandhills, scrubby flatwoods, and mesic to wet-mesic pine savannas on poorly drained Spodosols. | Endemic to peninsular Fl and se. GA; reports of it in n. AL were probably based on aberrant individuals of P. graminifolia. |  |
