Palafoxia callosa, commonly known as the small palafox,[1] is a species of flowering plant in the aster family. It is native to North America, where it is found in the south-central United States and in the state of Coahuila in Mexico.[2][3] A disjunct population is found in the Blackland Prairie region of Mississippi in the United States.[4] Its natural habitat is rocky, calcareous soil in glades and prairies. It is less commonly found along the banks of streams.[5][4] Palafoxia callosa is an annual. It produces heads of pink to white flowers in late summer and fall.[5] Its narrow leaves are often wilted by flowering time.[6]
