Palafoxia callosa, commonly known as the small palafox, 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.[1] A disjunct population is found in the Blackland Prairie region of Mississippi in the United States.[2] Its natural habitat is rocky, calcareous soil in glades and prairies. It is less commonly found along the banks of streams.[3] [2]
Palafoxia callosa is an annual. It produces heads of pink to white flowers in late summer and fall.[3] Its narrow leaves are often wilted by flowering time.[4]
