Chrysopsis subulata, called the scrubland goldenaster,[2] is a North American species of flowering plant in the aster family. It has been found only in Florida.[3]

Chrysopsis subulata is a biennial herb up to 70 cm (28 inches) tall. It generally produces 1-5 branching stems. Both the leaves and the stem are either hairless or with finely scattered hairs. Each stalk can produce as many as 70 yellow flower heads and a loose array. The species grows in sandy and grassy locations.[2][4]
