Doellingeria infirma
Also called Appalachian Flat Top Aster, Cornel Leaf Aster, Cornel Leaf Whitetop Aster, White Aster
Doellingeria infirma, the cornel-leaf whitetop or cornel-leaved aster, is a perennial forb native to the eastern United States, that produces white composite flowers in late summer.
Doellingeria infirma is widely distributed in the eastern United States, although local distribution may be spotty. Its range stretches from Alabama and the Florida Panhandle north as far as Massachusetts, Ohio and New York State. In Virginia, it grows in habitats such as mesic to dry woodlands and clearings. The presence of this species is dependent on appropriate habitat, and it may be eliminated from an area by development, changes in land use, or competition with invasive species.
