Description
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. The stems of P. integrifolia are less woody than other species of palafox, making it prone to drooping.
Range & habitat
Palafoxia integrifolia is found in the states of Georgia and Florida, where it grows in sandy uplands.
