Bradburia pilosa, the soft goldenaster,[3] is a North American species of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to the south-central United States, primarily the southeastern Great Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, in the states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Alabama. Additional populations are reported farther east (from Florida to Virginia) but these appear to be introductions.[4][5][6] Its habitats include disturbed roadsides and pine-oak-juniper woods.[7]
