Also called New England Golden Aster, Sickle Leaved Golden Aster, Sickle Leaved Silkgrass, Sickle Leaf Golden Aster, Sickleleaf Silk Grass, Sickle Leaved Goldenaster
Pityopsis falcata, commonly known as sickleleaf silkgrass, sickle-leaved golden aster, and New England Golden aster, is perennial plant in the family Asteraceae native to the northeastern Atlantic Coastal Plain of the United States.
P. falcata has a very limited range, being restricted to coastal areas between Cape Cod and the New Jersey Pine Barrens. It is often locally abundant, growing in open areas on sandy glacial till that was deposited along the front of the Wisconsin Glaciation. It is the northernmost species of the genus Pityopsis, being native to Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island.
