Palafoxia integrifolia, commonly known as the coastalplain palafox and coastal plain palafox, is a species of palafox native to the southeastern United States.
Palafoxia integrifolia is a herbaceous annual plant with pinkish-white disc flowers arranged in inflorescences. It has glossy, alternating leaves which elongate on the lower portion of the stems and more linear at the top.[1] The stems of P. integrifolia are less woody than other species of palafox, making it prone to drooping.[1]
Palafoxia integrifolia was described in 1842 by Thomas Nuttall. The generic name refers to José de Palafox y Melci,[2] while the species name is derived from the Latin word integrifolius, meaning "having entire leaves". Polypteris integrifolia is a valid synonym.[2]
Palafoxia integrifolia is found in the states of Georgia and Florida, where it grows in sandy uplands.[1]
Like other Palafoxia species, P. integrifolia is attractive to birds and insects, which aid in pollination.
