Baptisia lanceolata, the gopherweed, is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae. It is native to the US states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. A perennial reaching 3 ft (1 m), it is found in dry sandy areas such as the Carolina sand hills and open piney woodlands such as the longleaf pine ecosystem. It has bright yellow pea like flowers which attract insect pollinators and bees. The Latin specific epithet lanceolata refers to the shape of the foliage.
