Astranthium integrifolium, the entireleaf western daisy[2] or eastern western-daisy, is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae. It is native to the east-central part of the United States primarily the Cumberland Plateau and Ohio/Tennessee Valley. It is found in the States of Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, and Georgia, with isolated populations in Mississippi and West Virginia.[3][4][5]

Astranthium integrifolium is an annual, usually with an unbranched stem up to 50 cm (20 inches) tall. Flower heads are usually borne one at a time, with white or bluish ray florets and yellow disc florets.[6]
